My Puddle Jumping Quilt: Finally Finishing a 3-Year WIP

Hello, my quilty friends!

I squeaked out one last finish for 2017! 🙌💃🏻 And this finish feels extra good because it has been a WIP for about 3 years! 😬🙈

The pattern

The pattern is Puddle Jumping by Camille at Thimble Blossoms. I went with navies, aquas and greens on a white background, and I love how fresh it looks.

The umbrella backing

For the back, I finally used the umbrella fabric I've been hoarding for years, from the line April Showers by Bonnie & Camille. Puddles and umbrellas! It was meant to be. ☂️

Debbie (@hobblecreekquilting) quilted it with a cute raindrop pattern to go with the umbrellas.

Tip: If you have a backing fabric you love, ask your quilter for a design that goes with it. The raindrops and the umbrellas make me so happy every time I flip this quilt over.
