I had a Blast!!!

Blast I took advantage of a glorious 4 day weekend to do some sewing.  I got the borders on my Orange Berry Blast quilt and I just love the end result.  I really like how the striped fabric is mitered in the corners.  This was a very fun quilt to make, and like Nicole, I think I am hooked on batiks!


And the best part?  It's only Sunday - I have one more day to start a new quilt project!

  1. Mmmm, good looking quilt! I just love it! It is easy to get hooked on buying batiks, ask me how I know. It will be fun to see what the two of you dream up next.

  3. I'm in LOVE with this quilt. That's all I can say. I don't know that I've ever seen batik with stripes. I need to find this book because I love this pattern. Nancy in WI

  8. It's gorgeous! I love this quilt! Are you still going to call it Orange Berry Blast? I really love the name too. Those OBB scraps of yours might look really good in my scrap basket... of course, if you've fallen head-over-heels in love with batiks, you probably also need a good home for all the "other" fabric you have that you'll never use now. :)
    Great job ~ and tell DD that if she doesn't want it, I'm sure there are a couple of ladies here that would happily give your beautiful quilt a loving home.
