Hello, Quilt Top!

 My Apple Pie Penny Patch Quilt Top

is ready to link up with the other pretty quilts in progress at

Stitched In Color

Here is a close-up of the fabrics.

My top is an oversized throw, 66" by 78",

with 11 columns and 13 rows

and 143 blocks.

The background is not as scrappy as some of the other quilts

as I really love this 

Riley Blake print on which I based the color scheme and theme of my quilt
and which pulled all the other fabrics together.

When I started this project, I was thinking to make a picnic quilt.

I did encounter some challenges putting this top together.
Read more in A Tale of 20 Blocks.

I do think this cottage style quilt top has enough vintagy appeal to put it on a bed in the summertime, so I am saving the last of the print to make a couple of pillowcases.

For the backing I am going to use this older print from P&B textiles
that has been in my stash for awhile and
the blue apple print and the blocks
that did not make the front of the quilt.

Anyway you slice it, I like pie!
