Layer Cake Lemonade Quilt Pattern

I just found out that my step mother in law's lymphoma cancer has returned for a third time....

She has opted to take chemotherapy and I want to make her a soft, cozy, snuggly quilt to wrap herself up in.

I wanted to finish it quickly, so I chose a simpler pattern which I found through the fat quarter shop, called "Lemonade".

You can find the free pattern here.

I have a Pinterest board named Lemonade, which you can find here.

The quilt pattern Lemonade is made from a layer cake.

I really like Lori Holt's "Millie's Closet", and I think Glenda would love it too.

She's a "vintage" type of girl, and appreciates that sort of thing :)

These are my favorite 10" squares, so I'm not going to cut them in half.

I sewed these 10" squares together and will cut the rows horizontally, to insert between my rows (above) of 10" squares.

I laid all my rows together and really like the way they look :)

Sorry about the yellowy night light....

Here is my completed quilt top.

I love it, with the pops of red and aqua amongst the greens, yellows and pinks.

I bought some soft minky in aqua, to back the quilt with, and Lori Holt's "Vintage Happy" to bind the quilt with.

I love red, and love the way a red binding can "pop" on a quilt.

I just have to get my Bernina back from the repair shop, it's been about 3 weeks and I really need it!

I highly recommend this free quilt pattern, Lemonade.

It was really fast to sew up, it just took me one 
evening :)
