This week I wanted to share a recent finish that was actually started years ago… so many years I am a little embarrassed.
Photos can not do this neon pink justice… it really is vibrant and a little crazy. The grey and white does a good job of calming the pink a little…
A few of these blocks were left over from a Portland Modern Quilt Guild challenge in 2013… the rest are ones that I added (some I even designed the paper piecing pattern for!)….
Okay I have to admit I have a problem letting things go and this was particularly true of the couple of blocks I inherited for the charity program. They just screamed to be made into a quilt, but they were so bright that they did play nicely with any of the other orphan blocks I had… you see my dilemma right, I had to make more blocks to go with them.
Someone who appreciates pink in all it’s glory – actually my kind of person…. is going to love this quilt…and just in case the front was not enough to sell it I found some fabulous Ikea fabric in my stash for the back…
This quilt has already made its way to the local PICU where it definitely brightened some kids stay, I am sure of it.
Quilt Details:
Fabric: Michael Miller Neon fabric and Cotton Couture

WOMBAT QUILTS 
I love the lips. Beautiful quilt.
OMG this is spectacular! I absolutely adore it! This is why I frequently pop by your page to see if you have posted lately; because when I do you blow my mind 😍😍 the colors work sooo well even that hot pink LOL
I love everything about this quilt! I can see why you needed to make it perfect before letting it go!
Nice!
The backing is a hoot! Sometimes a project is merely waiting for the right person to have it.
No halfway for you! I love how you ran with neon pink and that backing is a great match. Fun quilt!
I am not sure I know how to only go half way…particularly when pink is involved!
Fabulous! I can quite see why you had trouble letting go of that one, and the backing’s perfect, too. I see Mr Wombat is sticking with his quilt showing stance, pinkies aloft….
Oooooh nice. I could do with the back 😁. But Cath….. I am wondering if you have the pattern for the flying geese block?
Dorris the pattern is a free paper piecing pattern from Julie at 627handwork. You can find a link to it in my Free paper piecing tab – the linking block is green.
Awesome quilt front and back!
I love the neon pink and each and every block! How fun and ‘in your face’ this one is!
Gorgeous 😍😊😊😊😊😊
No need to be embarrassed… I have WAY older UFOs than that adorable quilt!!
I love it! Please tell me the backing fabric is still available. Also thanks for the Flying Geese block info.
Joyce the fabric is from years ago. I stock pile IKEA fabric when I find it…. and it is always worth checking out what they have in store.
Super cute!11
I love your lips quilt where can I get the pattern for that quilt
Sharon the paper piecing patterns for most of these blocks are under the Free Paper Piecing pattern tab on the block. There is no official pattern as I just made it up as I went along. Sorry.
great job love the colors
