Confetti Pips - A Crinkly Finish!

Having finished the binding in record time, I nervously washed and tumbled the Pips last night, for my first foray into crinkledom.  Just before bed, I pulled out what I have been waiting for, for a long time - a quilt just for me!  Perfect crinkles too!




The Sherbet Pips are a muted version of some of my favourite colours, and the print is probably a little 'sweeter' than I would describe my usual tastes, but there is something so relaxing about the whole collection that made me want it!  And I love it, no excuses.



It measures up at 40"x 52".  If you want Quilt Dad's pattern too, it's in Issue 5 of Fat Quarterly.

  2. Wow! Fastest binder in the west, or south, or somewhere. Looks fantastic. I ordered my backing fabric having forgotten that it would be needed in the necessary steps to finishing my Pips. You are obviously a much more organised person than me!

  6. Yeay, well done you! I'm not normally a pips fan, but I really like what you've done with them, binding looks fab too, good choice. If you put it in the machine, how very brave of you! I hand washed my baby quilt cos I was too chicken to risk it falling to bits!

  8. Great going! I love the wide bands of fabric on the bottom (and too?) It really gives a good balance to the blocks! ( See..it didn't fall apart! LOL! )

  9. Yummy! Do you think you'll get to keep it, or will the girls adopt it?
