Strawberries and Cream

Strawberries and Cream ~ 60" X 68"
I finally finished piecing and quilting this scrappy quilt from years ago, it was inspired by an antique quilt that I saw at a  Quilt Guild "show and tell" and fell in love with. I drafted the pattern and set to work. This may just be one of my favorite all-time quilts. 
I backed it with this precious strawberry print. Naming this one was a natural. 
I don't usually save selvages but just look as what I trimmed off the backing. 🍓 I can't bear to toss it.
I quilted it with Willow Leaf's "Plumage", a pantograph by Jodi Beamish. 
And remember how I mentioned that I might just round more corners now 
that I'm no longer afraid of bias binding? Well, I couldn't help myself! 
Life is Good!

Love the sleeping bag for the American girl, I haven’t seen their catalog in years and a camper! It was just a wardrobe trunk when my daughter was that age

It is such a sweet thing, and the rounded corners match its soft look. Very pretty!
