ME and I spent the day together and finished the center of my quilt. It's ME's first line with Moda, Friends and Flowers and the pattern is called "Furrowed Four Patch".
I have a few things to contemplate before I add the borders. I don't recall what my plans were for this fabric when I purchased it because I have two Fat Quarter Shop Jolly Patches, two charm packs and some yardage. This quilt only took 3/4 of a Jolly Patches package. Maybe it should be bigger? (it's approx 40" x 50" w/o the borders) Maybe I should stop here and make something else? This will look adorable on the quilt rack in the corner of my kitchen this summer - talk about a splash of Summer. Definitely reminds me of a picnic!
Today I'm off to spend the day with my 4 year old grandson, Eli - he's not feeling well. And, then later my Sweetie and I will go out to dinner to celebrate our 32nd anniversary. Enjoy your day and feel free to leave me your thoughts about what I should do with this cutie!
Thanks for stopping by - please come again!
In Friendship!

and if you stopped here you can use all that other fabric on different projects.
have fun with eli.
hope he feels better soon.
and happy 32nd anniversary!!!
Happy 32nd Anniversary. Love the quilt top. It really doesn't need a lot in the way of borders and the size now is great. Maybe just a white border the same as the background and then a binding that goes with your kitchen?
Cute, Cute, Cute! I did MCM (aka My Creative Mind, aka sewingroom) in Friends and Flowers and my kitchen in Recipe for Friendship. ME is my fav of all fav artist...happy, bright, and so ME!
Your quilt top is wonderful as is~maybe framed with a 1" black polka dot? Bind in black? What about the red? My kitchen uses alot of red & black so I generally head in that direction. What color stands out in your kitchen?
CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!
Happy Anniversary, we celebrate 32 this year as well...in June.
Cute top!
Happy Anniversary Darlene! Sorry grandson is sick. A friend recently said how can those so little have such BIG germs! Your quilt absolutely screams picnic. Love how you set it.
What a springy quilt - makes me forget for a moment the snow on the ground. Happy anniversary.
Yea, like maybe you could make another one for me...... pllllleeeeeaaaaassssseeee! Ho, it'lovely. As always! I love your work!
Happy anniversary! Sorry to read that the little one doesn't feel well! Give Eli a gently hug for me!
Enjoy your evening!
I LOVE it Darlene -- everything about it!
I just love your quilt...so summery...yes, definitely reminds me of a picnic too!
Happy anniversary, love the top. Like Carol said make another one ot two...lol....
What an adorable quilt! I would leave the quilt as it is. I don't think it needs anything more than a dark binding.
Happy Anniversary!
so cute and i would leave it as is without another border
happy anniversary!
Darlene, that is a very cute quilt. Enjoy your time with your little grandson. Happy anniversary!

Happy 32nd Anniversary! Enjoy your evening together.
The quilt is cheerful to look at, you did a fantastic job, I love it!. Maybe a small border and then you are done. I think some quilts have too big borders.
I love it! Was that a pattern you made up yourself?
I LOVE m.e. ! ;o)
Happy Anniversary. Its a wonderful thing to reach such an anniversary these days, you should be so proud. Congrats.
I love the different sized dark squares. Very cool quilt.
Love it!! Oh, I think rick rack would be a great addition. Aqua or red rick rack with a black polka dot border. Makes me giddy just thinking about the possibilites. Happy Anniversary!
Cute. The different size sashings and black blocks add a lot of interest!
Happy Anniversary.
THat is just super cute!!!
It's so darling! If you can envision a spot for it, I'd say stop here and use the rest of the fabric for something else.
very cute and picnicy! I'd just put a border on it! Happy anniversary!!!!
Have you considered doing prairie points if you have enough of the scraps of fabric left from the top?
Ahhh...it will be a wonderful quilt for summer ...so fresh... love it!! :o)
Happy Anniversary!
What to do, what to do....I know, send it right off to me. :)
Happy Anniversary to you and Ron and many, many more, my friend!
Hope the little guy is feeling better. I'm sure spending the day with Nana helped.
I think it would be perfect for summer time in the kitchen!
And a very happy 32nd anniversary. You must be doing the right things to have been married all that time.
I have missed visiting your blog. I am getting better by the day and hope to be able to visit all my friend's blogs before long.
Happy Anniversary!
I know you don't consider yourself Speedy....but come on! It looks great and will be very pretty any time of year!
That quilt is so great. Reminds me of spring. Happy Anniversary!! Enjoy your time together.
Oh I love all things ME, Darlene! I think the quilt looks great where it is - wait - maybe a B&W polka dot border? Happy Anniversary!
Cheers!
Best wishes on your anniversary! enjoy your special dinner. Love your latest quilt - looks so fresh and colourful. Hope your grandson feels brighter soon.
Happy 32nd Anniversary. Love the quilt top.
I love your quilt! You're right, it is like a summer picnic, very cheerful. I just love ME fabric. How about a polka dot fabric for the border? Happy Anniversary 32 years - that's awesome.
I love ME!!! I try to branch out to other designers but ME and Laurel Burch are 2 of my favorites! Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad that you asked! I think that you should send it my way. I love it. Happy Anniversary!
