Dutch Days for SUU!!!

It's that Homecoming Time of year and that means I get to share another SUU Quilt in my favorite Red, White, and Black color combo!!! I decided to make an SUU Fast & Fun Lap Quilts  and how cute is this Dutch Days Quilt!  I just love it ;)

For this version of Dutch Days, I used Red and White prints from the Red Hot Fabric Line from Riley Blake.  It is another perfect match for an Alma Mater quilt and paired with a Black Basic background, it just makes those red and white prints pop!!!!   And I made a scrappy binding of the white prints from this line and I love how it gives a great low volume look there.  Such a fun way to finish the quilt.  

And as always, the Homecoming quilts need an SUU layered applique to the corner of the quilt. The applique is the SUU Mascot, they are the Thunderbirds :)   And when it comes to a custom applique the sky is truly the limit.  It is such a fun way to personalize quilts!!   You can find the step by step tutorial here for layered applique :)   

When it came time to quilt this Fast & Fun Lap Quilt  I decided on all over Loose Feathers;)  I just figured I wanted something to add texture that would quilt up fast, and this is always the ticket for that!!    And of course, a black thread was perfect for this quilt.  

And that is my SUU Dutch Days quilt from my Fast & Fun Lap Quilts book !  Dutch Days finishes at 72" x 72" so it is a great size and it has already found a new home with an SUU Alum ;)  I hope you love this quilt as much as I do and if you make your own Dutch Days quilt, I would love to see it!!  You can share your quilts with me on social media using hashtag #happyquiltingwithmc and #fastandfunlapquilts and tag me @happyquiltingmc or you can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com.   

Thanks so much for popping in for another quilt finish!!

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!
