The pattern is by Amanda Jean Nyberg and is exclusive to Connecting Threads. I chose red scraps for the coffee mugs and Kona White and Kona Snow for the background. The binding is a red print I bought many, many moons ago at JoAnn's.
I quilted it with my walking foot, with curvy lines about 1/2" apart in two different directions. I just love the texture it gave the quilt, but some of the coffee mugs got distorted a tiny bit - I wonder if it's because of the quilting itself or because I didn't baste the sandwich close enough. What do you guys think? Has this happened to you before? Do you know how to avoid it?
The finished size is 15" x 18" - perfect for Brittany's tiny kitchen. :-)
I will be linking up at Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish It Up Friday and at Crazy Dutch Bird Quilts for TGIFF.

That's so cute! What a lovely gift! I'm pretty sure it's the quilting that distorts it, I've had that happen before - I would love to hear a solution! I can't see the distortion of the mugs though!
Very cute! A perfect addition to a kitchen :)
What a great gift. Love the curved quilting. Great job!
Hi! This is a beautiful present! I'm sure she will enjoy this in her kitchen! x Teje
And another great share. I love how the scrappiness and the quilting work. Thanks for stopping by
Awwww! What a sweet story behind your quilt. I love it in the reds. There is always a portion of my quilts that gets a bit skewed when I quilt. Guess we could just say it's "wonky". ;)
The quilting is gorgeous.
I love your coffee mugs! Perfect for a kitchen!
