It's hard to believe that this year's Stay at Home Round Robin is at an end. I had such a good time with this quilt! I decided to call it Flamingo Fun, because those flamingos are my favorite part.
After the final round, it looked like this. I had a multi-colored Island Batik fabric that went well with the color scheme of Flamingo Fun and I considered adding a sizeable border to the top. Ultimately, I decided I didn't want it any bigger, and finished the outsides with the same Island Batik solid Cobalt that I used for sashing. I also used the Cobalt for the binding. I quilted it with a simple cross-hatch design.
I did have quite a bit of the multi-colored fabric, which was leftover from my Rose Arbor quilt last year, so I used it for the back instead. It wasn't quite large enough on it's own, so I added a stripe of solid Turquoise. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of the back while it was still light out, so you're stuck with this indoor shot of just the multi-colored section.
