New Year ever!
My first quilt of 2015!
This RMH quilt is one I saw over at "Quilting is more fun than Housework". I had the fabric so decided to go for it, with a few changes.
I had some zebra print for the back -
My 1/2 square triangles finished at 5.75 inches - such an odd size for me as I usually only sew in whole or half numbers.
I am not sure why I have animal prints or when or where I bought them and I think I have enough for at least 5 more quilts!
More hexie flowers for a total of 70 -
Deanna shared a great notebook on her blog. I went to Walgreens and bought a couple of them.
I only count fabric as out when the quilt is 100% finished.

Great looking quilt, and an excellent start to the new year!
Awesome.
I love that quilt. The animal prints add so much motion, but it doesn't look like animal prints at all.
Keep on keeping on.
You found the perfect fabric for the binding and the back of the quilt. I know this quilt will be loved by someone special. Your hexies are looking good.
That's one type of fabric I don't have in my stash! Love the quilt. That notebook looks interesting especially since it is spiral bound. I have been using a cheap graphing notebook and it doesn't like to lie flat. Happy New Year to you too!
Nice use for your animal prints. I love the graphic quality of that setting for HSTs.
Love the animl print. I like the notebook too. I'm always looking for better ways to organize my ideas.
Love the quilt! Happy New Year! ~Melanie
Nice finish to start the year!
I love the quilt, very cool!
Hey Dee Dee, Wow! What a wonderful start to the new year. Love the quilt. isn't it amazing how we accumulate certain fabrics and can't remember where, when, or why we purchased them. Can relate completely. Love the quilt. Your goals are nicely ambitious. Hope you have a wonderfully quilty year.
Hugs
Enjoy your notebook! I am loving mine.
Great RMH quilt for a teen. Good luck achieving your goals in 2015, and enjoy the journey!
I adore the zebra print -- it's the absolutely perfect complement to the top! You're already off to a great start! Here's to all kinds of wonderful things in 2015!!!! :)
Great quilt to start off the new year. Your goals are ambitious, but you always amaze me with all you get done each year. Good notebook for quilters who like to design quilts. Thanks for the reference.
A great finish! Love dye way your baking fabric made a stripey binding. I'm working on a QoV from stash now, but it's string pieced, so it will take a while.
