the sherbert quilt

Back in December, I posted a sneak of this quilt saying that I wasn't sure what I thought of it and that I was going to wash it and see if that changed things.

Well, I've washed it and that did make a huge difference!
I ordered these fabrics when they were on sale at Fat Quarter Shop back in November just to stash but when I was putting them in my fabric box, my 8 year old commented on how they would make a great quilt and I just went with it. Fortunately she LOVES the finish!

For the back, I used large pieces of novelty prints from my stash.

My daughter helped with the selection and layout and I think we both agree that we like the back better than the front.

I still wouldn't say it is my favorite or even one of my favorites and I wish I made some different choices regarding which colors I included but all question marks aside, it is big, warm, and cozy - and in this weather especially, getting lots of use!
