A Sunday finish: Ice Pops! The name alone inspires cool thoughts.
The pattern is from Denyse Schmidt's first book. The only real change I made was to forego the border so as to make it lap sized. I chose all solids except for one print, Timeless Treasures' Crosshatch Sketch in Latte, which I also used for the binding.
This quilt has been slow in the making. Believe it or not, it was meant to be a Christmas present for my husband John. I pieced the top during the holidays and presented it to him then, but I didn't have a chance to quilt it until recently. I suppose now it's a "Christmas in July" gift. Just what he needs in this sweltering heat, eh?
John has a rather unusual vocation - he restores old pianos. I stopped by his shop this afternoon and took a few photos of Ice Pops with the pianos. Here you can see some of the innards of a lovely grand.
Back at home, Elkie got comfortable.
Time to throw this quilt in the wash!
I'm linking up to the Fresh Sewing Day and Small Blog Meet at Lily's Quilts.
Thanks for stopping by, and stay cool!
