Orange Ya Glad It’s Done!!?

I completely finished my Orange Slice quilt about a week ago, but I had to submit my favorite Christmas quilt for SewCalGal’s Christmas Quilt Show first!  Then, I had to write my monthly post over at  Stash Manicure…  if you missed it, go HERE.  It shows my tiny sewing room in detail. 

Then, I was out of town with my boys and hubby in Orlando, FL to celebrate my dear Daddy’s 90th birthday! We had a wonderful weekend visiting with the whole family!! 

So, now that all that’s done, time for the big reveal!!

TAAAA DAAAA! 

Meet my sweet Orange Slice!

The pattern was designed by Des over at Quilt Taffy.

This is the first quilt I’ve ever made using solid white fabric.

And sooooo much orange that is not related to Halloween or fall.

I free-motion quilted big loopy flowers in the big white spaces then added a small orange button in each flower center.   

These represent the aromatic orange blossoms I grew up smelling in Florida.

I realllllly love this little quilt…it is really outside-the-box for me with all this solid white and orange!

Orange Ya Glad you stuck around to see it finally finished???

I AM!!  :-)

Sooooooo, what are you up to???

 

Orange Ya Thrilled?

Well, I have finished my

Orange Slice quilt top.

I really did like making

these blocks…and then

putting them together.

And as I said before,

this is my first time

making a quilt with

solid white fabric.

The design is so simple

yet stunning!!

I’ve decided I don’t

want a border after all.

It’s perfect as it is! 

I will bind it with orange! 

I’ve got bee on Saturday

at my house, so maybe I

can get it pinned and ready

to quilt on Sunday?

Wait ‘til you see the

AWESOMELY

ORANGE

fabric I’ve got

for the backing…

Orange ya realizing

I’m now CRAZY about

ORANGE???

Orange Ya Glad??

I fell in love with a quilt

I saw on Quilt Taffy a

few months ago.

I mean seriously...

ORANGE??

Soooooooo not my favorite color

(except in October for

Halloweenie stuff!)

Plus, this quilt used solid

WHITE fabric, too.

I NEVER use solid fabric...

and especially not WHITE!!

But something about

this little orange and white

quilt called my name...

So, I HAD to go buy some

orange and white fabrics,

of course.

Hoping to get to work some

more on this quilt

today!

Sewwwwwwwwww,

stay tuned!!  :-)
