Postcard from Sweden Top

 Check it out--I have my Postcard from Sweden top done! I made the bigger version so it is 60" x 72".  I just signed up to take a walking foot quilting class for two days over my spring break the first week in April. I think I will wait to quilt this until my class because maybe I can get a great idea. I have never been a big fan of solids, but I have to say I love this! 
I have lots of Kona leftovers from my kit, so I am thinking of starting another project with them. This free pattern has been tempting me to put them to use. 
I just have not been able to decide between a white or a gray background.
I am keeping up with my blocks of the month and I have a secret project for the Fat Quarter Shop in the dryer right now--I get to reveal it on Thursday.
I have labels to embroider for Slow Sunday Stitching
and Monday off, so maybe I will start something new!

  2. I love the postcard Quilt and I also want to make it. The funny thing is, I also have the real postcard from the Swedish shop and thought from the very beginning about making a quilt like this. *ggg*
    Looking forward for your secret project

  3. Your Postcards look as sunny as this spring Daylight Savings morning! What fun! I vote white for the background of the 'bonus' quilt. This might be the turning point for you, where you fall in love with solids! =)

  5. I made a Postcards quilt, too. It's one of my most favorite quilts!! I am flattered you like my Kona solids quilt. 😊I think it would look amazing with a gray backgroound!

  17. Yay for a finished flimsy! Tanya, this looks wonderful! I think 'how to quilt this' is on all of our minds, whether we have the top finished or are at the sewing HSTs (no names mentioned ahem) stage!

  22. Your Postcard from Sweden turned out so nice! I love your colors! Great idea for the left-overs. I wonder if your light blues and lavendars would disappear agains a gray if you chose that instead of white?
