Love Victoria's aka Bumblebeans' original Waverunner Quilt!!!

Love the colours, the improv style, the quilting...all together it's just beautiful and definitely speaks to me! I decided this would be a nice quilt for my husband so I sent out some fabric to the gals in my bee (Unscripted) and they sent me lots of beautiful pieces back. I've slowly added to what they made and this is what I have so far. It's a work in progress for sure. Was supposed to be a Christmas present (what was I thinking) so needless to say here it is at the end of January and it's still a wip! I am proud though as I've decided on the backing and ordered the flannel fabric a few nights ago - just in time before the crazy shipping rates to Canada go in effect - ugh!
Not sure how I feel about it. I think it's one of those quilts that I should suspend my thoughts until I've finished piecing the top. What do you think?

  1. Yep, definitely wait till you've finished piecing. From where I sit it looks good.

    1. You're too sweet....it's actually nice to try something outside of my comfort zone, not to mention the improv piecing which is so freeing!
