The Phoebe Quilt in Strawberry & Friends
Way back in April (wow!) we started a quiltalong using the Phoebe Quilt Pattern. Even though I finished the quilt top during the QAL, it took me a few months to baste, then a few more to quilt and bind the project, and finally a couple more months to get photos taken. But now it is done.
This quilt used a F8th bundle of Strawberry & Friends by Kim Kight. I love this collection so, so much and so did many of you since it disappeared from shelves very quickly (although I found one FQ bundle available here and a layer cake here!). It is the perfect combination of pretty birght colors, fun novelty prints, and gorgeous florals. Just perfect.
For the background fabric I debated playing it safe with a white background fabric or walking on the wild side with the pink — I took a chance on this pink Hole Punch Dot print. I actually think the white would have been just as fun, but you are always trying to get me to be a little more daring and I am glad that I gave in. The pink packs a punch.
The backing fabric is a blue plaid from the collection and the binding fabric is the green seeds print.
For the quilting, I did more normal organic grid, this time on the diagonal. It gives the quilt such a great texture.
If you would like to make your own Phoebe Quilt, all of the posts from the QAL are still available and are linked below. You can pick up the Phoebe Quilt Pattern in my shop!

It’s very pink, and therefore very good! I love that background!

I just rewatched those videos last night! I have a holiday jelly roll & am thinking about using it in this pattern. I also have a white jelly roll & don’t love cutting yardage into strips. :)
