Modern Purples

Hooray! Another Q4 FAL finish to cross off the list! Modern Purples is a version of my Easy Going Modern pattern. This time I stitched it up using some beautiful Kaffe Fassett shot cottons. The hand is lighter than quilting cotton, but they are so, so soft. Dreamy!

The quilt's colour choices were inspired entirely by this fabulous stripe. As soon as I saw it, I knew it needed to be the binding.

Krista Withers did a wonderful job on the quilting, didn't she? The batting is a lofty polyester, so it's soft and poofy but really warm.

The back also picks up colours from the binding (the quilt isn't as wonky as it looks in the photo. Yikes!).

This quilt is a gift for a very special person celebrating a milestone birthday in the next few weeks. I think it's going to be well-received.
