I've finished my Swatch quilt and I've called it Club Tropicana.
A while ago I started naming my quilts after my favourite songs from the 1980's and I loved Club Tropicana by Wham. Here's link to the video in case you need a reminder. This quilt does have some palm trees it in and the bright yellows remind me of pineapples, so Club Tropicana seemed appropriate.
This was a quick and easy quilt to make and it will be perfect for my older son. I won't have to worry about it living on the floor!
I'm proud to say that I made this one from my stash. I got it quilted at Busy Bee Quilt Shop in Wellington with a modern design.
It's quite a big quilt, and I didn't want to have to piece a backing, so I chose this wonderful Kaffe wide back and I love it. My son can use it either side up now.
Finished size 60" x 72"
I cut my blocks at 5.5" x 9.5"
Now it's time for the Peacock Party. Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.

Lovely, cheerful quilt. That backing fabric is gorgeous and Club Tropicana is a very fitting name.
The quilt is so bright and happy but perfect for a young adult. It's fun to make simple designs, they sew up fast! Happy stitching!
Another beauty, Wendy. Thanks for showing those gorgeous fabrics up close.
What a wonderful backing for that quilt! I love that it can be used both ways!
I love how your quilt turned out! Looks great.
Your quilt turned out beautifully and what an absolute gorgeous backing. Your son will love it.
