A new snuggle quilt

I just finished stitching the binding on my latest quilt! It's a snuggle quilt for the couch. I made it because I was poked fun at for having our Christmas quilt out in June. I like the Christmas quilt (Mom made it for us) because it's big & snuggly. So I decided to make a big & snuggly quilt to take it's place when it's not Christmastime!


The fabrics are all Denyse Schmidt fabrics from Joanns, the first line that came out this summer. The white and the lime green are Kona solids. I just love the way it turned out! I even love the back....



Now if it would just cool down so we can use it! Earlier this week we had our 70th day this year over 100 degrees.... breaking the all time record of 69 days set in 1980. Honestly? It's September people! Time for a cooldown. Hope it's much more comfortable where you are.

So pretty and bright! I love it! This is my favorite quilt so far using those prints. I think the solids really make them pop!

What a lovely quilt Ellyn! Just catching up on some blog reading while I rest from cleaning up renovation dust today! Sounds like you had a great trip, and I'm definitely enjoying the cooler weather today. I'm still hoping for some rain, too.
