finished - flea market fancy quilt

I finished my Flea Market Fancy quilt last week!  It is has been living on our bed for about 5 or 6 days now, so yesterday I thought I'd bring it down for a quick photoshoot.

I love the finished result.  Everything about it is so bright and happy, which is definitely needed this time of year.  Lots and lots of pictures, I know.  I couldn't help it.  I really like this fabric, and it is so nice to finally have a quilt made completely out it.

 

Here it is crumpled up on the bed before I brought it downstairs.  Is that bad that I was too lazy to spread it out for a picture of the whole thing?  Whoops.

Phew.  That is a big quilt, my largest by far!  A quick note on the white solid that I used, since I had many questions and comments about it.  I rarely ever use an actual white solid.  I have three kids plus a dog that lives in the house.  White would never last, so I only use it in items that are for show rather than use, like minis for the table, wall hangings, etc.  For my quilts, where I'd like to use whites, I often substitute Kona Bone instead.  It has the appearance of white when it is paired with other fabrics, but it is more of a creamy, ivory color.  I find that it hides so much, and it washes nicely as well.  I make quilts to be used and loved on, so I prefer to use colors that hide the multitude of messes that come its way.   

Okay, that is it for now.  Hope you are having a great week!  If you are in an area being hit by this big snowstorm, keep warm and safe.

with love, Ang
