Happy Friday to you all. I have a finish to share.
I chose to call this quilt Aquaculture - aqua for blue and culture for green (imagine growing a culture in a petri dish) Since it is growing, it is green.
But it could also mean growing things in water.
And the green blocks within blue outlines seems like green things growing in water. Therefore - Aquaculture.
I bought the charm pack (Pineapple Fabrics) from the Quilt Show in 2015. Threw in a couple of other fabrics to match/make do.
OK, I admit, it was a UFO. But I am happy to announce it is FINISHED now.
No body in mind.
Just a quilt.
I am sure a recipient will miraculously appear.
The batting is Warm & Natural. I quilted it in a grid - horizontal and vertical lines, using my walking foot and a decorative stitch. on my Janome.
I chose the same teal blue for the binding to bring the quilt pattern together. I think it works.
Since my quilt holder-upper is still out of commission, the mail box will have to do for now.
What are you working on?

Let's talk about Addiction now. Fabric addiction that is.
Let's admit that there is no cure. We can manage it...or at east try.
I have allowed myself to buy new fabric in the following conditions
1. When I finish a UFO.
2. When a desired line goes on sale.
3. When I do a giveaway.
Amazingly, all three are true for right NOW.
I just finished Aquaculture. I just completed my first giveaway. The packages in the mail today.
And look at all this yumminess on sale!!!
Here are a few of my favorite picks.
Cotton and Steel FQ box - Just over a dollar for a fat quarter, this needs no introduction. Grab it before it is gone.
Andover Sun Print by Alison Glass - This is the fabric line that Molli Sparkles has been raving about. Need I say more? Fine, it is also on sale!!!
Arabian Nights - Love the rich dark colors. And it is 50% off. I probably won't use the kit for the pattern (I think it needs some lighter colors too for the eyes to rest), but boy do I love the fabric?
Moda Ombre Basic by V & Co. - Such a great value for such versatile fabrics. Wow!!!
Which one of these caught your eye? Do let me know because I love to hear from you!
I will be linking with all my favorite linky parties.

The backing is just so cute!!! This is my September finish (one of them at least) and I will be linking with Heidi of Red Letter Quilts.

Here is what the label looks like - Name on one half, and care instructions on the other half. I got it from ikaprints.
