a winner, and a little more patchwork

Thanks for all the great comments on my last quilt! It’s fun to hear from so many of you – I know it’s hard to take the time to leave comments on blog posts (I tend to read posts on my phone and even though I tag those I want to come back to comment on, I rarely find the time to do so), but I do enjoy hearing your thoughts!

Anyway, on to the winner… out of 400 comments, random.org selected #396! That’s Carla G who said, “What a fabulous quilt!! And the colors are awesome! Thanks for a chance to win! ” I’ll email you shortly Carla!

And, just to add a bit of color to this otherwise drab post, here’s a little peek at my latest finish – a juicy and bright Echino patchwork baby quilt. Regardless of how many Echino patchwork quilts I’ve made in the past, I always love digging through my stash and pulling together fun colors and prints. The Echino here is paired with lots of Cotton Couture solids in corals, pinks and a bit of brown, along with a little neutral linen. I was quite happy to discover the perfect variegated thread, which adds a little something special. This one is also headed over to Nido for this weekend’s show!
