head in the clouds

i recently was able to test a quilt pattern that is absolutely adorable. "head in the clouds" quilt (#rachelrossidesigns)  was pretty easy to construct as long as you read the directions carefully, i, at first, skimmed the directions and assumed in knew what was going on and stitched two pieces wrong and had to make quick friends with my seam ripper, thankfully it wasnt a huge issue and one that i was able to catch early. This quilt has so many color combination possiblities along with the vast choices of quilting stitch options when you are finished piecing it. I did not have any quilt batting on hand so i used a layer of cotton flannel for the core. I mitered the corners of the binding which for some reason is always a challenge for me but i was able to get it done. See photos below of my progress and results.
