My Layer Cake Lucy Quilt: From WIP to Finish

Layer Cake Lucy quilt with scrappy octagon ring blocks in pink, red, aqua, yellow and green

Hello, my quilty friends!

During a fun sewing weekend with a friend back in January, I started making this Layer Cake Lucy quilt. Unfortunately it got put on the back burner for most of the year, but it's FINALLY done! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป

The pattern and the fabrics

The pattern is Layer Cake Lucy by my friend Andy of A Bright Corner, and it's such a fun quilt to make. In fact, it's so much fun that I made two of them! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

The fabrics are a happy mix of some of my favorites: Cheeky by Urban Chiks, Best Friends Forever by Stacy Iest Hsu, Gretel by Amy Smart (@diaryofaquilter), Bluebirds on Roses by Elea Lutz, A Little Sweetness by Tasha Noel (@tashanoel1) and All Weather Friend by April Rosenthal. These fabrics are dee-lish!

Tip: When you've got a WIP sitting on the back burner, pull it out on a cold, gray day. These bright colors were exactly what I needed to get going again!

The quilting and the back

Debbie of Hobble Creek Quilting quilted it with Knit 1 Purl 2, and I love how it turned out. And that Cheeky fabric by Urban Chiks on the back?! I'm SO in love! ๐Ÿ˜
