Bananaphone

As soon as my daughter could move, she was grabbing my scraps and putting them together - always with the purple! Which is surprising, since I don’t use very much purple, or didn’t. It’s creeping into everything now!

This particular quilt, utilizes banana scraps from an under-photographed quilt, plus some purples, some pinks, and just a touch of white to balance it out. It’s the Bright Side quilt pattern by ThenCameJune - Which I highly recommend! It’s a very easy to put together quilt, and it really makes the fabric shine.

The backing is just a bunch of the leftover pieces, and more bananas. Unfortunately, I didn’t measure right at some point, and the back ended up about 3 inches too short for the longarm. Since it was for a toddler anyway, I just removed that last column from the quilt top.

For the quilting, I used my go-to yellow Glide thread, and all of my favorite designs. (I had to add some more yellow in there, right? Right.) To try and keep things cohesive, I did a ribbon candy design in all the stripe blocks. I got very good at ribbon candy by the end of this quilt.

The binding is a tiny hot pink stripe on purple from Tula Pink. This might actually be the most Tula quilt I’ve ever made.

Do you ever make quilts all in one designer?
