Third Street Neighborhood

More scrappy houses, this time for a wedding. I found the Third Street Neighborhood quilt pattern on Etsy and though I'm usually not a fan of black and white prints, this particular pattern--with its colorful doors--intrigued me. I originally planned to bind the quilt with the same fabric used for the backing--a pure white with black and gray Queen Anne's lace print--but at the last minute was inspired to use the same solid red as a couple of the doors. I am still undecided if that was a good design choice, although everyone who saw the finished quilt loved the red binding. I am just a pastel sort of person at heart. The quilting is a whimsical design with hearts and spirals, reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, which softens both the bold colors and geometrical shapes and suggests a Home Is Where The Heart Is theme.

We delivered the quilt this weekend to Rob and Courtney's wedding, which was a completely lovely event.
