First finish of 2012 - Blushing quilt

A friend of mine was back visiting over the holidays and I had said that I would make her a quilt when she moved away to a much cooler part of Australia last year. I met V about 10 years ago when she had moved here from another country and was expecting twins. As I was involved in the Multiple Birth group here at the time, I met up with her and we have been friends ever since.

 I chose some pretty Basic Grey Blush fabrics as I loved the colours and V will recognize the fabrics as she likes scrapbooking. I used the Abracadabra pattern from Bloom in the smaller size 44" x 57" (112cm x 145cm).

 Also, as V lives in a household of 4 males, I think she needs a bit of pink in her life:)

 I backed it in a coordinating light brown spot  - all of these colours remind me of strawberry, vanilla and chocolate Neapolitan ice cream.
