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!

PS Thanks, little brother (little? hah!) for being my quilt holder. You rock. Also, nice shoes.
I think the shoes match the quilt. It’s beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! You did an excellent job! I love the quilting. Can’t wait to see your quilts coming off the long arm!
And she positively squealed when she saw it too. Kortney LOVED it! So did I and you’re lucky it arrived at it’s destination without being swiped. Beautiful work my dear.

I love the purple in this line. I have some scraps of it to use :) I like the new look of your blog too. It must be blog makeover week. I’ve seen about four with new looks!
