Early this fall, Pat Sloan issued a Scrap Happy Little Wishes Challenge. I finally finished it!
I pulled out brown scraps and cream scraps for these blocks. I used a consistent black fabric throughout:
I wasn't sure how I was going to sash these blocks, but then I found this chocolate candies border fabric:
It had the same black and brown and cream that I used in my quilt, but it also had hot pink. I had some hot pink in my stash, so I used it in the sashing. The problem was that the hot pink was HOT! It glowed on my quilt. GLOWED!
I needed to lessen the contrast between the hot pink and the rest of the quilt, so I quilted everything in pink thread. It neutralized my quilt. I used In The Pinks, one of my new FabuLux threads from WonderFil:
This quilt is pieced, quilted, bound, and delivered to a friend. I wante to give her a year's supply of hugs and this quilt is doing that job for me!

Absolutely love the little curlicues in the black triangles! (Not to mention the ribbon candy...!)
