The masculine version of Summer Sorbet is done.
I'm calling it Summer Sunshine because it has so many summer delights - tadpoles in jars, VW vans camping, a cotton candy vendor, your favorite tricycle and more. These are all prints by Heather Ross - super hard to find and so unique. 
I finished this quilt with a new to me technique - faux piped binding. The tutorial was great. This type of binding is finished by machine, so while it was a little fiddly, it did end up being a bit quicker than doing a traditional finish by hand.
I love that it allows you to use two fabrics for the binding! I think it adds a really fun detail to this happy quilt. The backing is a simple, linear print that includes many of the colors from the front of the quilt.

Oooh! I really love this quilt! It's beautiful!
That's a beautiful quilt! And thanks for the link to that tutorial- the binding looks great and I have been trying to find a more fool-proof method of doing machine sewn binding... who knows, I might even be able to finish something before Thursday's meeting! (No, I will not be able to. But I can dream?)
Beautiful quilt! I am so glad you tried the piped binding and that it worked out so well. It looks wonderful!
