Yes, Raspberry Cheesecake - this quilt was sooo easy to name!!
These older fuchsia prints just sing next to the Kona Banana - such a beautiful color combo! A special thanks goes out to the 3 in 1 Color Tool (affiliate link) for helping out in that department. (See, I'm exploring color relationships!)
How about some closeups? There just had to be straight line quilting in this one,
But, I started with a 1/2" mistake, then quilted 10" worth of 1/4" spaced lines, and thought, ugh, I have to do this all the way? Oh-so-time consuming, and possibly with a stiff result, so maybe not such a great idea.
That one 1/2" mistake then turned into a design element! I quilted a few inches of 1/2" lines, then a few of 1/4", and so on. In the end, it was a great choice, because it certainly adds a ton of quilting interest to this quilt.
Simple loops are in the raspberry ribbons, because I wanted something curvy, and not dense. The curves and low density contrast nicely with all those close lines.
This quilt will be going to it's forever home next month, as a coworker is decorating their baby's room in pink and yellow, and this is perfect, especially with a flannel backing.
Hubby is sad to see it go. For me, I'm ok with it, cause I know I have enough fabric to make another!
