Hiking the Lake District 'El Chorro' |
We stayed in a remote finca, what a beautiful, quiet place that was! The sun, the flowers and colours inspired me in so many ways, I spent two entire days sketching quilt designs and taking lots of photos.
I swear: this is not photo- shopped! It really was that turquoise! |
The pillow is now finished, here it is:
The pillow is made from 50 flying geese blocks, 3x6'' each. The finished size of the pillow is approx. 25x25''/ 65x65cm.
I quilted it with a loopy stitch and that turned out great! I used three different colours Aurifil 40wt, in light grey, turquoise and variegated mint.
These are so happy summer colours and reminds me of this beautiful place called 'El Arpa'

I can highly recommend this place! I could write a whole travel blog post but that goes beyond the scope of quilts!
Linking this to Finish up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts and Modern Patch Monday at the Modern Cologne Quilters.
