Sweeti Pie Quilt

Sweeti Pie

At times, quilts are difficult to give away because you love them so much. Sweeti Pie was one of those quilts. I found a fat quarter pack from Jessica Swift in pink, gray and lime green at a major quilt show in Cincinnati. I felt the fabrics were perfect for a pattern by Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr of Fun Quilts in Perfect for Precuts, 2011. Interestingly enough, the book was given to me as a gift from the previous year's donation quilt recipient. Sweeti Pie is a smaller version of the pattern, Flower Show, but used the concept of modern florals with a bright, solid fabric separating the rectangles. The white with gray polka dot background fabric compliments the bright main fabrics. The backing fabric has adorable lifesaver circles in pink, yellow, green and orange. I quilted it in circles with Aurifil variegated gray thread. The binding is the same bright pink solid fabric used in the quilt.

This quilt was so charming, it was difficult to give it up and donate to the Kingsway Christian School Auction 2014, but I did it. We don't know who purchased this quilt, but I hope they love it as much as I do.

Sweeti Pie Quilt is 48 x 72 inches.
Donated to Kingsway Christian School, March 15, 2014.
