I think my most favorite finish is my orange peel mini which I just completed this afternoon.
The orange peels are made out of several fat quarters of Mimi by Chez Moi for Moda. I have had them since last fall and I was just waiting for the perfect project to showcase this beautiful material! The background squares are low volume fabrics that I have been collecting. For the backing I used a fun multi-colored polka dot fat quarter from my stash, and I used the leftovers from the orange peels to make the binding. This mini finished at 18 1/2 inches by 18 1/2 inches.
To quilt this mini, I stitched around each orange peel and then used this idea from Crazy Old Ladies quilts to add echoing lines in the space between the orange peels. I love the pattern the quilting created!

Your quilting looks fabulous, and the quilt is very cheerful and pretty. Nice finish!
This is so sweet, I love the fabrics and quilting! (psst you forgot to list how big it is and I think you have it in the wrong size category for the QAL).
Hi! Like Renee said above, if you wouldn't mind linking this to the "mini" category instead of the quilt category - I don't know the dimensions but it looks like that's where it belongs. Thank you!
Looks great! I love the way you quilted it!
Very pretty orange peel. I'd like to make one : )
I meant to actually comment on how beautiful this is before! Sorry I neglected to do so. ANYway, it IS gorgeous and I just love your quilting!!
Oh how pretty. I love the quilting you did on this quilt.
I love your echo quilting. It really complements the orange peel design! Did you use a walking foot to do the quilting?
Such a beautiful design and great choice of colors! Your workmanship is very good.
