Pink Ribbon Finish

Long time no type but there has been some sewing. I have completed my Pink Ribbon Raffle quilt.

I saw this post at mmmquilts and loved the concept and set out to make something similar.The fabric bundle used for this was one that I have had for a short time and is Little Harajuku from Benartex with a few others thrown in. It seemed to be perfect for this style of quilt.  I worked with an 8 inch square leaving my 3 steps uneven but I think that adds interest. The quilt finished at 56x56 inches

 I used a white on white print and grey spot on white for the background fabrics.

The backing is Island Hopping by Connecting Threads in cherry. I pieced all the Harajuku scraps together into a strip for the back and embroidered a label also. The binding is another Connecting Threads fabric - Pen and Inked by Winthur Sempliner. I love black and white bindings on quilts.

I have to say that my very basic straight line quilting does not compare to the beautiful feathers on the original quilt. The quilting lines were in the ditch top to bottom and then a 1/2 inch either side of the seam.

The quilt was raffled off at our Pink Ribbon breakfast and I am happy to see it go to a new home. it was for a good cause and you can't get anything better than that.

This is one off the Finish Along Quarter 3 list (I think the only one).

I am linking up with Amanda Jean at Finish it up Friday.

Happy stitching.
