Ouch .. look what happens when

Your Mo-jo finds you and kicks you in the butt ...

When I joined this Quilt-along I knew one thing ...... 

that I wanted to use fabrics from my stash.

Many combinations were auditioned with very little success 

so my next source of inspiration was Google images. 

With this search I came across a couple of images that sparked "something"

   

So I took those images and the constant question of "Why" when my children are standing at a slushee machine swapping from one flavour to another "Layering" their drink and came up with this.... 

The start of my "Rainbow Slushee" as part of the

Soda Pop Quilt-a-long.

There  are  were lots of petals to make for this quilt.

For a couple of nights this top lived on my kitchen table.
It was taking shape and I was inspired to just keep going, so I did!

I decided to graduate the solids from black to dark grey, soft grey to off white.

Woops ...... don't know how that happened! 

guess I was inspired so much by the original 

Orange Soda by Katy Jones

that I just could not stop

making my version.

Here is my completed flimsy, 

my version of the "Soda Pop" Quilt

"My Rainbow Slushee"

The pattern now calls for all the petals to be raw edge/machine appliquéd on and then
quilted but I thought I might combine those two steps.
I am hoping to start quilting this one later this week.

Enjoy your sewing
