I had originally ordered this Les Amis bundle quite some time ago, with this quilt in mind. I love those foxes. LOVE THEM! Speaking of foxes, stay tuned - I have a stuffed fox family surprise coming soon. :)
Also, thanks to everyone who gave their vote on whether this should have a border or not. Definitely love it without the border.
Debating on the fabric for the back, I went with a teensy houndstooth print and an orange stripey binding, of course.
I also went totally outside of my comfort zone and did the solid orange, rather than white. And I love it!
Straight lined quilting. Simple.
How funny is this? So my BIL had his newest automobile adventure delivered today. He really REALLY loves to fix up cars. I told Robot Child#3, while we were taking pictures, this quilt matches Uncle Bob's new van! She giggled and said it does! I said, let's go take a picture of the quilt with the van. She said, okay but do you think Uncle Bob will get mad? Of course not. It is a perfect match and yah, we looked like weirdos but come on.... It couldn't have been more meant-to-be. Right?

ReplyDeleteLove the orange. It looks great. And the photos with the van are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOrange is my favourite colour - this quilt is fabulous!!! The oversized blocks are a great design twist, they make it fun and powerful. The VW pic opp was far to good to pass up - love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out awesome! I love that you went with the orange and that houndstooth is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful finish. Oh thanks for sharing this one -- I think it would be a great use up for a spare charm pack. I am thinking this would be a good quilt for our guild to do for a chairty quilt as well.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Those foxes are so cute. I remember this pattern in the magazine, great quilt. The car and the quilt were meant to be:)
ReplyDeleteNice! Very striking with the orange background.
ReplyDeleteYour foxy chevron quilt is sew sweet! I love it! Brought to you by the colour orange... You are too funny!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! orange is such a happy color, and I'm glad you used it instead of white. I like making big blocks too- they come together so quickly! (that pic in the van is perfect!!)
