Flashdance 2

I can't think of a cute or clever name for this smaller version of Flashdance.  It is 26 x 31 before washing, so it's wall hanging size or big enough to be a stroller/car seat quilt or a large doll quilt.  I oriented the stripes differently and the proportions of the blocks vary from the first quilt.  I seem to have a habit now of making quilts twice.  I really enjoy seeing the difference small changes can make to the same basic design.

I decided to revisit the crosshatch quilting, but I chose a print binding and a multicolor print backing which add a playful feeling to the quilt.  I just love the raindrops dot from Summersault by Erin McMorris.  I have it in four colorways, in fact.  The large scale makes it perfect for a backing and the colors are so great for this quilt.  It looks perfect with the Washi print binding too.

This one is destined for the shop too, but I may not get either quilt listed until after the KCMQG retreat.  Now, I have lots of sewing projects to pack.
