Tickled Pink

I have a top finished! Our retreat girls had a yearly challenge and since we were going to be all together at Sisters I did my "reveal" at that time.

Here's a little better photo

 

I was able to use Michelle Yeo's Bucklebury for the border. 

The center toile was a fun surprise!

Okay, this quilt was the challenge! Exactly like it, or inspired, or....... 

Here is my center! I love it! But it was a tad too big! Aargh! I went ahead and started getting the other blocks together until I realized I was going to have to pivot. 

BTW, The 4.5" blocks were in my orphan drawer (Made by Linda!) So, I thought I would use them up instead of making more blocks. 

I tried a few different centers and came across this cute toile while in Missouri a few short weeks ago. 

I appliqued the center toile and then cut it square! 

The border fabric is the fabric I have behind the toile. I wasn't feeling the love as a border though. 

The quilt was assembled in a little different way. I had to keep a close eye on the directions. 

It looks a whole lot different than Jo Morton's Peppermint Twist pattern but I'm happy with my version!

I wasn't even going to use pink- but now that I have,  I'm calling mine Tickled Pink! I believe it measures about 44" square.

Have a great week!
