Finished! Just in time to give to my niece, Brianna for Christmas. I love how this turned out, the colors are so rich. I bought these fabrics from FabricWorm a few months ago and decided to do my own version of Amy Butler's Lotus Brick Path pattern.
The fabrics are from Erin McMorris' Park Slope collection, Anna Marie Horner's Garden Party. There is also one super cute fabric from Alexander Henry with lipsticks, ipods and handbags on it, super cute for a "tween".
The binding is just something I had in my stash, I thought it was perfect.
Sadly, as I was cleaning up all the extra threads for this quilt's photoshoot, I was snipping off some random threads and snipped a tiny hole right in the middle of the quilt! I am thinking of either a tiny patch or just a few lines right over it with the sewing machine. I'm sure it won't be noticed by anyone but still it was upsetting.
Now I need to make a couple of quick gifts for Johnnie's preschool teachers...any ideas?
What a happy quilt!

This is gorgeous! I love all of the fabrics that you used. This brick path pattern is one of my favorites. It's so versatile!

quilt looks great. I always consider it GOOD LUCK to have one mistake in a quilt.
Teachers always get too many sweets SO---This year we're giving homemade Pear Vinagrette and garlic croutons as teacher gifts. Last year I made a chevre/garlic/parsley spread and made easy homemade crackers.
If I think of other ideas I'll email you.
