Scrappy Trips

Talk about a hard quilt to photograph.  I'm not a professional, but usually I can get close to the real colors on fabrics, this one was as hard as red to do!  I tried an indoor shot on my design wall, but I wasn't happy with the colors.


I used two jelly rolls for this quilt top (plus a few strips from my stash), Aloha Girl by Fig Tree Quilts (by Moda).  The colors are pretty soft, but the dark blues are very vivid and dark.  Next up is to find what to use for backing and quilt away!




Yesterday I played with different layouts:


I liked the one above, but I decided to go with an "around the world" layout.  I know if I just left it alone, it would be weeks before I finally did anything so I decided to just go for it.


I like the softness of the fabrics, I'm hoping the recipient enjoys it as well (now on to quilting!).
