Ashford Square

I finished my 5 quilts, maybe not in a week, but probably about 9 or 10 days altogether, even if they weren't consecutive days. And of the 5 of them, this one is my favourite. I find it very peaceful. The pattern is found in Fabric Cafe's book, Quilts in a Jiffy, and for once I actually named the quilt with the same name as the pattern. 
Like most 3-yard quilt patterns, it went together quite quickly and makes a nice snuggle-size quilt. Especially with a minky backing. 

Originally, I was going to use a celery-coloured backing, but when I decided to make 5 quilts, I had to juggle the backing fabrics to make sure I had a better-coordinated backing for each quilt. I only had 5 minky backings to work with. But the blue is fine. It was the hot pink/coral one that wasn't going to work with the 5th quilt. In the future, I may just buy neutral minky, so it can coordinate with any quilt top. 
Ordinarily, I would have chosen a flower-themed pantograph to quilt this quilt, but I'm actually trying to use each pantograph I own at least once to justify it taking up storage space in my house. And really dense designs don't work very well with minky. I've used my more open flower-themed designs at least once before, so my options were limited. This one is Nifty Feathers, an 8" Urban Elementz design that appears to have been retired, as I couldn't find it on the website. It's a pretty generic design that would work well with most quilts, and works up quite quickly. And as I have said before, the average recipient of a quilt doesn't even notice, let alone care, what quilt design I use on the quilt. 
Now to get this, and the other four, to their intended recipients.
