Kortney’s Quilt: Purple, Kate Spain, and Good Fortune (Prairie Grass Patterns)

Last week, I finished this pretty little quilt for Kortney, my super awesome sister-in-law. She’s a big fan of purple, in case you couldn’t tell.

When I saw “Good Fortune” by the one and only Kate Spain, well, obviously I had to use it for Kortney’s quilt.

I mean, her wedding colors were purple and yellow, for pete’s sake.

Also obviously, I’m loving that there’s some orange in there too.

I backed it with Moda Bella Solid in aqua. The binding is some old purple Kona I had in my stash. No idea what color.

I let Kort choose how she wanted it quilted, and she was loving on the bubbles, so that’s what I did–along with a few wishbones, just for fun. Bubbles and Wishbones. Sounds like a band name.

This is a remake of a quilt I did last year for Nyah, remember? Only a little bigger and without borders.

Just a single layer cake, 1/4 yardish of white solid, some backing, binding, and batting, and BAM.

It has a little bit of machine applique on it, which I know you are all experts at now.

If you happen to only be only super-proficient at machine applique and want to become expert, of course go to my machine applique tutorial.

What did you work on last week? Or if you didn’t get a chance last week, what are you up to this week? I’ve got a bunch of longarming to do–ruler work and such. It’s going to be FUN!
