To be honest, this is not my favorite quilt. I like the Urban Nine patch pattern, but not so much the colors I used. I love the quilting on this one, though! Debbie Cooper did the longarming. She sent me 10 images of my quilt with different pantograph patterns superimposed on the quilt. I would probably not have chosen this pantograph otherwise, but I'm very glad she suggested it! It may be one of my all time favorite pantographs!
One other thing I really like about this quilt is the backing. This is Tula Pink's Free Fall. I never would have chosen this fabric if I hadn't seen my friend Ellen's quilt, which used this fabric in the purple colorway. I love the scale of this print! Giant polka dots interspersed with birds. It is beautiful in person. If you see just a little image online, and don't know the scale of the print, it really makes no impact. I liked it so much I bought another piece in another color for a different quilt. And my longarmer bought some too.

I too love that very backing and have used it twice. Not only is the print wonderful, but it is so silky smooth.
This is a beautiful quilt! I think the color scheme is perfect for a college student. :)
Thanks to the introduction to Tula Pinks Free Fall. I love it! Sometimes the quilting does make a quilt just more wonderful.
Pink is NOT my favorite color, but, this quilt is striking, and it talks to me. It makes me happy to look at it. Great quilt!
Hooray! for a completed binding. Nice finish!!
IT really is a lovely quilt - the colors remind me of rainbow sherbet! Great quilting and back too.
