I'm soooo excited...I finished my 36 patch quilt this weekend. There is a LOT going on in this one! I think I used 75 different fabrics in all. Wowza! All from the stash. Double wowza!! If you recall, I made this for the quilt along I hosted this summer here on the blog in celebration of my 36th birthday. You can find the block tutorial here. I'm very pleased with how it turned out! I was stalled for quite some time trying to figure out the right backing. I wanted to make a 36 patch back…

I did have to mix in a couple of solids to supplement the fat quarters, but otherwise the fabrics worked out wonderfully. The fabrics…

A few pastell marzipan eggs was consumed during constructions, as may be expected of a easter time endevour as this…

My finished quilt top. I see I flipped a row and have 2 identical blocks next to each other. Does it bug me enough to fix it though? Probably, especially since I used my small stash of Arcadia and want this quilt to make me happy every time I see it. Mistake = not happy. :( Otherwise I love it.
