Presenting... My Sushi and Dim Sum Quilt

The recent cold blast finally spurred me to finish quilting my sushi and dim sum quilt. It's the largest quilt I've made to date - twin-sized at 76 inches wide and 84 inches long, but large enough to cover my full-size bed. Made up of leftover fabric from pajama pants I made five years ago. Interspersed with plain cream-colored blocks and sashes so the focus would be on the green and blue blocks. I found a nice cream-colored queen-size sheet with pale blues and greens that seemed to coordinate with the sushi and dim sum blocks. I cut strips from that sheet to create the border and keystone blocks. I like how the slight bit of color in the keystone blocks served to break up the all-cream-colored parts, but weren't bold enough to overpower the sushi and dim sum prints. I quilted very large stitches on both sides of the seams. See? The border fabric sort of matches? And it only cost me $3 for the sheet, which I used to cover the whole back. The sushi and dim sum fabrics were leftovers. I had two kinds of cream colored fabric, a plain one and a cream-on-cream embroidered one. Both were free from my mom's stash. And I used a 40% off coupon for the batting. So all-in-all, this quilt cost me less than $10 total in materials. Not a bad way to use up leftover fabric. This is the first time I put on a binding, and I like how "finished" it looks. Here's what the back side looks like. It's pretty lightweight so more of a summer quilt, so lil' sis has been sleeping underneath this quilt and a flannel one. C'mon, why don't you start quilting too. :) ***** 1 year ago today, lil' sis's Chinese Sunbonnet Sue quilt and I started this sushi and dim sum quilt. Go see lil' sis's quilt and pay her lots of compliments! :)
