Several years ago I bought this fabric with reds, blues, pinks and yellow.
There was a complimentary fabric (which you can just see peeking at the left corner) that had a smaller print with cherries and raspberries.I decided on the Card Trick pattern, and put the main fabric together with blue, yellow and dark pink. For some reason, this quilt just did not appeal to me at the time. So it was relegated to the UFO pile.
As I was working on cleaning up my sewing area one day, I came across this quilt once again. But this time it started to speak to me.
All of a sudden this quilt said "SUMMER"! So I brought it out to see what had been done. I hung it on the wall, and I decided that I liked it :-)
Now I must decide on a backing and how to quilt it. It is about 86" x 72".
Maybe I should go back through my UFO pile again and see what else is lurking in there :-D

Very pretty, and very summery! Yes, absolutely browse your UFO's, lol.
Hey, congratulations on your "new" quilt!!! It does look like a great summer quilt. And it seems like they always look two or three times better when they get quilted, so you will end up with a lovely quilt!
Oooh, I love this quilt. The colors are SO much fun!
Fun, fun, fun...what an unexpected find!

It is very pretty.It is bright and cheery. I guess you just never know. Sometimes I see a quilt and like the fabric but the pattern doesn't appeal to me or the other way around. So I guess it happens.
I really like this quilt. The colors are gorgeous together, and I agree that it is a summer time quilt!
Lucky you, finding a near-finished quilt you like!
Cheers,

It is gorgeous, Jocelyn. My pinks ... TTFN ~Marydon
This is a beautiful quilt and I love how our perspective changes from year to year. I have quilts that are old enough now that I would never have bought the same fabric today. It's funny how trends and fabric change over time.
Yes SUMMER for sure.
Okay dig some more pretty UFO's out for us to see!!!!
It's really a pretty quilt Jocelyn. It reminds me of sherbet.

Very nice, I like this quilt.
Very nice. The Card Trick block is one of my favorites because it was one of the first ones I ever did! I like how you have put the top together.
Have a great day.
The quilt is gorgeous! Your choice of colours made it for sure!

Yessssssssss... a great summer plaid!
Seasons of the year seem to influence my likes and dislikes for fabric. Happy that you rekindled your love for this quilt top and finished her up. She is absolutely a summer quilt! Very pretty. :o)
I really like this quilt design. It is pretty neat.
It is a gorgeous quilt. We could use some summer here, all we have had is rain.
