Are there any of you who also have this problem???
So now today I am sharing the Fox among the Birches using Kona Steel for the background instead of the Kona Mushroom.
The background is Kona Steel. The birch trees are made from Minimalista by AGF Studio and a dark and light black smokey looking fabrics. The foxes are Kona Kumquat and Papaya.
The backing is a new stash addition (my first one this year!) from Bobbie Lou’s Fabric Factory and is called Out Foxed by Michael Miller Fabrics.
Normally, I first attach the binding to the back and press toward the front before topstitching to finish. But this time I sewed it onto the front and then pressed to the back. Then I stitched in the ditch along the edge of the binding, catching the folded edge on the back with the bobbin thread. It’s a bit trickier. But I like the thinner binding edge to be at the front sometimes. And then you aren’t cutting off the points of your piecing either.
You can find the Fox among the Birches pdf pattern here in my shop.
Am I the only one?
Or do you ever have the compulsion to make more than one version of the same quilt?

Oh, I can understand why you had to make two of them! They are sooooo cute!!! The colors are fitting perfectly together in both quilts.Greetings from Germany, Rike
Perfect backing for your foxy quilt! Both backgrounds look great.
Absolutely adorable! I just don't know how you accomplish sew much. I feel as though I sew all the time and in a million years, I couldn't make as many beautiful quilts as you produce AND spend so much computer time on EQ! You are amazing! You must be a whirling dervish in that sewing room!
Love the backing! Cute, cute foxes and quilts. I can see why you had to make more!
I love this quilt with the grey background! Both quilts look great!!
This is too cute!
cute! I occasionally make a quilt pattern more than once always in a different color way
I don't often make a second quilt with the same pattern because there are so many other quilts in my head that I want to make. I do love the blue background with the orange foxes!
Totally adorable!I can honestly say that I've rarely wanted to make the same pattern twice because I'm drowning in UFOs!!I have made easy quick baby quilts two at a time in the past.
oh yes, I am making number 3 of the \”oh Canada\” bear quilt….is there such a thing as having too much fun?
Oh my goodness, that backing fabric is AWESOME and so perfect for your quilt! Beautiful work as always, Lorna. It's fun to see in another colorway in real life. 🙂
I really love this colorway and the backing is fantastic! What a gorgeous quilt! No, I don't have that problem but I don't have EQ7 either. It's on my wish list along with AccuquiltGO.
Another home run!!! This is adorable and the backing is perfect.
As we say here in Maine–this is so cunnin'
I never have made the same quilt twice, but seeing this I can see why you absolutely had to!
Perfect backing fabric! They are so cute!
They are both super cute! I have several quilts that I would like to do in different colors–if only I would stop starting new things.
