"Just Add Sugar" is a lemon-themed fabric with a great back story.
When I introduced myself, Elizabeth actually had seen my Sliced watermelon quilt! She asked if I could make a lemon quilt with their fabric. Fast forward and month, and here it is!
The whole time I was working on this quilt, I kept craving a frozen strawberry lemonade! The colors are so bright and summery!
I pieced all the curves, but decided to applique the teardrop shapes this time. (Can you see that center fabric is actually little tiny flies?? Every part of this quilt says summer!)
All piecing and quilting was done with Aurifil 50wt thread in white #2024. The batting is an 80/20 cotton/poly by The Warm Co. I used my walking foot to quilt straight lines on the diagonal. It created a great texture!
I really love how fun this quilt is, and the hot pink binding is like the straw in the lemonade glass! It's the perfect final touch!
The print on the back is my favorite in the whole collection!
Once finished, we headed out to the local golf course for a photo shoot. This was my first time on a golf course in my whole life! Did you know the grass near the holes is only 1/8" tall?? I didn't even know that was possible!
The finished quilt measures 36" square. This is my 23rd quilt finish for the year and my 102nd since I started quilting in 2010! (See all my quilt finishes here.)
The pattern for this quilt is available digitally on Etsy!

ReplyDeleteYet another fabulous quilt!! Nope, summer hasn't helped me do more quilting - far less in fact! I spend every spare minute (outside working full time) renovating my house and garden! I need to take a break and sew...
