Don't like mustard...or do I?

It's true I don't like mustard the condiment - only good use for it is in a barbecue sauce or French dressing as far as I'm concerned but I am loving Bella in Mustard!

 I bought these two fabrics as my backing fabric for my spools quilt and I love them!  A perfect pair!



And now I have started quilting the spools quilt in a quick (I hope) and simple fashion - in the ditch round half my block and echoing that a few times!  Want it to show just a bit.  It keeps the graphic look of the solids and may even be my first 'modern' quilt....but then the block is as traditional as they come...



Shows up better on the mustard solid backing...
I may quilt at right angles to these lines too....time will tell but I'm hoping for a quick finish.  As stuff is piling up here!  And the Easter hols are coming up way too quickly!


As it is, I have had some company today as my wee girl is feeling poorly and it turns out she has been getting migraines in the last two weeks !  Let's hope the medication keeps those nasty headaches at bay but the puppy is definitely enjoying the attention...though you may not think so here?

    Quilting is looking good On your spools quilt. Poor daughter with migraine. (miserable) but a bonus for the puppy to have her home.
    Hope she is feeling better soon.

    Hope the migraines are banished soon, not caused by the constant whir of your sewing machine are they?

    Mustard yellow is beautiful....especially paired with cherry red.

    Hope your dear girl feels much better soon.

    Now I've got Boomtown Rats in my head! I saw them at Guildford Civc in 198? But they sang the better known version of the song :-)

    Now just given the photo above I wouldn't have said it's my favorite of colors, but I really really do like it paired with the top. I think you have a smashing combo there. Love the quilting too! Of course....

    I did not care for mustard fabric until recently. I think it is just one of those colors that the motif really matters!
