If you read this blog for any length of time you will quickly learn that I'm not fond of pink. It's really the only color that I just don't like. Last year when Laura was here she worked on a quilt. She finished the top and took it home to England with her. Where she never touched it again, just like a real quilter. She brought it back with her thinking that she needed to finish the top. She didn't. It's done! So we decided that she would finish it while she was here and that meant dyeing a quilt back first. The batik fabric is her binding and the accent color on the front of the quilt and, if I do say so myself, I matched it perfectly. While she was away last week I got the quilt loaded and basted and it's ready for her to start quilting. I picked these threads for her to choose from and I hope to get her started quilting this afternoon....after I watch the Virginia Tech game.

What a peaceful quilt! Rose petals and clotted cream. How English! Yes, the backing is perfect. Personally, I dislike pink, too. I tend to dislike anything I see as cliche.

You matched it amazingly well. The quilt is serene and pretty. I like it, but like you, pink is not a color I love. But i have learned to use it anyway.

Actually a good use of pink-calming. Probably my least favorite color too. I know many people who would love a quilt with pink.

I didn't think I was a fan of pink till I saw how it had crept into my stash. The softer pinks. Kinda peaches and cream. I do luv this quilt. Great job done by all!

I am not a big fan of baby pinks, but I do like hot pink to fuchsia. This neutral quilt with the pink accents makes pink beautiful! The backing is gorgeous and a perfect match! You are a wizard with dye! Comments are closed.
