I went with orange on top, aqua on bottom.
It was going great until I ran out of thread. Off to the store….

it looks so great, erin!
oh, such fresh colours. I find choosing thread colours are such a tough decision to make. Yours are perfect!
It looks beautiful!! And that does seem to be the way that it goes.
I had that problem with my last quilt too.
It looks lovely! Such patience to make those cute little loops.
Good choice!
I heart that blue fabric.
Your free-motion-quilting looks great! …Can’t wait to see the end result! š

I am always pulling those kind of mistakes too. I love the color choices. The tope fabric is very nice and I think the thread colors suit it well.
Looking good Erin! Hey what kind of sewing machine do you use? I am thinking of upgrading my 60’s Singer I found on Craigslist. It’s a champ for sure, but I want to do that free motion quilting so much!
I love the contrasting thread, it’s going to be gorgeous!
It looks great! I can’t wait to see what this one looks like.
Funny…and gorgeous… I have done the same thing…and it always happens with red or orange thread…I must use it more than I think I do!
So far so good! It will be beautiful once your all done!
I would love to try this, but I would need to get that foot for my sewing machine first.
I know what you mean about running out of thread. Sometimes it’s too late to run to the store so I have to get creative š
Oh and also, I love that aqua fabric. I noticed it’s the same one you use in your shirring tutorial. Do you remember where you purchased it or what it’s called?
love those two colors together. they work so well-

Oooo! I can’t wait to see the finished product!
excellent choice, i think!
Hi! I e-mailed you earlier in the week to thank you for the twirly skirt directions….now I’m just lurking to see what you’re up to!! LOL!! I love the quilt. The flower print is sooo pretty.

It’s looking great Erin! I want to start on another quilt!!
Ooh I’m feeling inspired to have another go at free motion quilting. I love your little loops and the quilt colours are gorgeous. The little practise pieces are so cute too.
beautiful combinations!
You choose well
oh how frustrating, but it looks great! Can’t wait to see the finsihed product.
Ouch; that always happens to me. Especially with free motion. It’s so hard to just guess how much thread it’s actually going to eat up!
perfect pairings, erin! the patterns, the colors. i love it!!
Great contrast and the free motion quilting is wonderful.
Please consider doing a mini-tutorial on that kind of machine quilting. Nerm

i’m looking forward to the reveal!
Ha, I know just how that goes. I have dozens of threads but never enough of the ones I *need* for that particular project. It’s looking great – so bright and fresh,
I had that happen just the other day! Free motion quilting does seem to use a lot of thread.
now i get it!!! youre great!
erin, it’s fabulous. can’t wait to see it finished!
I think we’ve all ran into this problem. I don’t so much have this problem with thread, but with other notions that I just don’t think about picking up.
Looks great! I love Orange!
I really love what your doing and love the looping top stitching! Now, I’m trying to understand this, can any machine do this freestyle stitching? Is that a foot you buy?
You work looks great!
