Easy As Pie

The Endless Summer of Quilting has begun!!!

My first completed quilt top of summer 2013 is Easy As Pie from Moda Bake Shop!

Miss Amanda and I decided to make twin pattern quilts out of this pattern with fabrics/colors that are a little out of our normal quilting comfort zone. 

The Moda recipe calls for a layer cake, but we figured out the yardage would be 6 fabrics at 3/4 yard of each.

Here are the fabrics that I chose for the blocks:

1. Sew Stitchy Needle (Moda)

2. Zig Zag Pink (Free Spirit)

3. Commute Ride Coral (Birch Fabrics)

4. Field Day Green (Blend Fabrics)

5.Chevron Small Aqua Zig Zag Stripe (Riley Blake Fabrics)

6. Palm Fan Sky (Kaffe Fassett) 

Here are the fabrics for the border, binding and backing:

7. Birds and the Bees Sunset Lazy Stripe  (Tula Pink for Free Spirit)- Binding

8. Sundials in Glow (Free Spirit)

9. Birds and the Bees Sunset Meteor Shower (Tula Pink for Free Spirit)- Backing

Fabrics 1,2,4,5,6 are from Sew Smart Fabrics and 3,7,8,9 are from Stitchwell Fabric. These two shops are totally adorable and you should check them out if you are ever in the vicinity of Philadelphia!

Now onto the quilt!!

 Design #1

 Design #2

Design #3- WINNER

The blue around the edges is just a flannel sheet that I have tacked to the wall. Instead of buying a design board for my quilting, I just use a flannel sheet since the fabric pieces stick right to it. This makes it super easy to rearrange them until you find the desired pattern for your quilt!

 Here she is pre-border!

The pictures did not come out great due to the terrible lighting in my room. In person it is more coral colored than orange but you get the gist. 

I will post updates for when Miss Amanda finishes her quilt top as well as when my quilt is back from the longarm and all put together!

Next up: Beach themed quilt!
