{Sew} Modern Monday #11

It is time for another {Sew} Modern Monday

here at Canoe Ridge Creations...

In fact, it's lucky number 11!

...the number 11 can be considered lucky, right?...

This week I am very excited to share with you all my Solids Film Strip Quilt Top. That is right, the top is complete!

I started this quilt during last month's FNSI and officially wrapped it up this past weekend. One month isn't to bad, right?  Like I mentioned before, I used my FQs I received from the Gen X Kona Your World Swap and paired them with Kona Coal (my go-to color these days).  By the way, signups for Round 2 of the Kona Your World Swap are now open!  Go check it out!  ETA:  The swap is now full.

My design inspiration came from the Cherry House QAL quilt.  Have you seen it? I really liked the basic, simple design of it but decided to add my own little twist. The finished top ended up being a hefty throw size, a tad bit bigger than the original QAL size.

As far as quilting this puppy goes, my plan is to go with straight-line quilting running vertically between the colored rows using a cotton thread that matches the Kona Coal.  That way the "optical illusion" of sorts will stand out. 

All righty folks, it is your turn.  You know the drill!  If you need a refresher, here are the rules.  And as always, I love seeing new faces.  So don't be shy and jump right in!
