I’m not sure who this quilt will end up with, but I’ve got plans to donate it. Probably to Project Linus seeing as though we were a recipient at one point. I actually just found out about a quilt collection for Newtown, CT and Sandy Hook that Taunton Press is coordinating, stop by Carolyn Friedlander’s blog for the link if you want to donate a quilt. So I’ll be sending it that way today!
I’m really pleased how this quilt turned out, I was questioning it as I was making it. Seemed like too many colors, but after it was all quilted and washed I really like it.
I think it’ll be perfect for a little girl (or a boy who likes lots of color!), so hopefully it’ll spend some quality time with it’s new owner.
I made it from a charm pack of Simply Color by V and Co. from Moda which I had gotten from Amanda’s shop on her black friday sale.
I threw in a bunch of fat quarter solids and a few neutral stripes and went to town with A Quilt is Nice’s zig zag quilt tutorial. It’s backed with a lovely gray print from Lotta Jansdotter’s Bella Echo and bound in Robert Kaufman essex linen in hot pink.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend! ♥
That’s a very nice quilt. The colors are nicely balanced.
Love the design and colors Anna. It will certainly make someone happy.
Oh I love the colors on it! It’s fantastic and so happy. Some little girl (or boy) will love it! I made a project linus blanket too recently, my first. Felt like doing something to help others. Still need to donate it though; maybe that’s a good thing to do today. 😉
Oh Anna, I love this! Not too many colors at all, it’s beautiful! Someone is going to be really lucky to receive it!
It’s a beauty x
Such a sweet quilt! It’s going to make someone’s day for sure! 🙂

I love the vibrant mix of colors! It would definitely be cheerful for any child! How sweet that you will be donating it. -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
It is gorgeous. I love the vibrant colors. It is going to make someone very happy.
‘Tis Echo (and one of my favorites!), which goes to show how nicely Lotta’s lines go together. Wish I could get my hands on some of the advance bundles of Glimma. Love this colorful quilt and it is going to find a great home! That hot pink is going to make someone very jazzed.
Project Linus is awesome…and your quilt is beautiful. It looks like the perfect size to wrap up a little one in. How wonderful. I just love things like this. Happy Holidays.

Very Very nice. I love the colors. They are so bright and cheery. I have the same print that you used as backing. I used it for my Brother’s wedding quilt I made him. Whom ever will receive it will love this quilt.

As I’m not from the US I don’t want to mix in the giveaway entries, but I’d love to wish you a very happy birthday!
Love it! You’ve always got such a fresh take on things. I have a stack of fabric waiting to be made into a quilt and I’m going to do the same pattern. Happy Birthday!!!!
