Focus Quilted and Bound

I finished binding Purple Pineapple's Focus today.  This is a quick, easy pattern.  The hardest part is choosing 3 fabrics that will be both interesting and will give good contrast so that the HSTs show up well.  I think I should have used the light green on the ends and the crazy floral in the middle.  Other than that I'm happy with this quilt. It is 78" x 62".




I used a Tula Pink wide back.  This is a polished cotton that is super soft.  The binding is also very soft as it is a shot cotton. 


Denise Zapf did the longarming on this one, and I love the pattern she chose.  It looks like a baptist fan to me.


 This wide back print is one of my absolute favorites. I have already used it once in a different colorway on my niece's quilt.

Another lovely quilt, Laura. I rather like the bright floral fabric on the ends. The backing fabric is gorgeous and the quilting pattern is perfect.

Very pretty quilt Laura. I too love that fabric for backing, and would like to see more prints on that substrate.
