Will winter ever end?
I used 20 pieces of my “Pie Making Day” stack of 10″ squares with some solids from my Kona stash. Champagne, Putty, Ice Peach, Pink, Maize, Mocha, Coffee, and Brown were used for the flesh tones and Silver was chosen for the background.
It’s more of my favourite wavy line quilting, performed using my walking foot using a grey thread on top and plain white Gutermann thread in the bobbin for the back.
The binding is a Sun Print print called Endpaper in Azure. I used it for one of the bikinis and this print was last used in the making of my Flowers quilt.
It feels good to have this quilt finished and ready for some summer fun. But it didn’t make the snow go away…. But what a fantastic backdrop!
This new pattern is called Teenie Weenie Bikini and you can find it listed here in my shop. This pattern is Layer Cake friendly. You can use a stack of 10″ squares or two pieces @ 5″ x 10″ of any piece from your stash to make the bikinis.

Bikinis and snow, what a combination. Love the way you have co-ordinated those fabrics for each one.
Love it Lorna. I can just imagine using it on a picnic at the beach, it would be perfect.
This quilt is adorable! You have the most ingenious designs!
Yes, perfect for a beach quilt – a real eye stopper! Such a fun design!
What a fun design! If only summer was here to stay! We all get a little antsy by the end of winter!

This is so — cheeky! Tee hee hee! A clever pattern as always! 🙂
So fun. There are so many temptations, and most of them on your blog. Thank you.
still love this, as much as I enjoyed the flimsy. I agree with the commenter above me, there is so much temptation on your blog!
Such a fun quilt and a gorgeous finish!
Such a fun quilt!
There can never be too many bodacious tatas, especially when they come clad in such lovely bikinis 🙂 It will always be a conversation piece – at home or on the beach!!!
