Sophie's quilt is finished!!

I just got my granddaughter Sophie's quilt back from the quilter this weekend. I am so delighted with her work. The Minky backing color is called "Mango." Isn't that the perfect description. I've decided to call the quilt "Sophie's Sunshine Quilt." Thanks for looking.

    Hey Lois,

    It's fabulous (I commented so on the other thread, before it was quilted), I'm a particular fan of batik & this color selection is so sunny & bright.

    It happens I eat a lot of mangos (was raised w/ one in the neighbor's yard in Brazil). The name for the backing fabric color really IS perfect! I also really like the color of binding on that backing. A++ all around (the quilter too.)

    Lois, Sophie's Sunshine Quilt is so bright and cheery - it will warm her and be so cuddly with the minky on the back! The colors are yummy - love the Mango! Your quilter did a great job.

    Magothyrivergirl's description of it as "luscious" is so appropriate. Beautiful! With those colors and the silky soft minky backing, Sophie will be dreaming of sunshine when she sleeps under it.

    It so warm and cheerful; and I am really impressed with the quilting! Minky isn't that easy to do 'fancy' quilting on.

    Did you use 2 1/2 inch strips? This pattern looks like it would be perfect for a jelly roll.

    Thanks, everyone, for your kind, encouraging comments. I will be sure to pass your compliments on to my quilter.

    Kate, the strips are 3 1/2 inches. The pattern might work with a jelly roll though, if you made the star blocks a little smaller. The background pieces of the block are also 3 1/2 inches. Maybe if you used 2 1/2 inch pieces, the proportions would stay pleasing.

    You can't look at that quilt and not smile! :-))) Beautiful colors and perfect pattern choice. The minky is perfect and looks so cuddly!
