I dug up a few different complimentary colors before we agreed on some bright blues and oranges. I settled on a pattern - and then we bought a pizza to confirm the box size. Yummy!
There are three different blues - but it turns out the medium blue and the electric blue were so close in shade. Oh, well! I cleared out a couple of oranges in my stash, and had been glad I had so much of that blue with the dragonflies. Most of the fabric and the Insul-Bright came from Swanson's fabrics - so this was an inexpensive project!
As usual, this was a plan-as-I-go project. that meant I didn't think
about the flap until after I had quilted the two big panels. Well, that
was silly. I made the flap, quilted it, and was all set to attach it in
a quilt-as-you-go technique when I cut through the outer fabric as I was
straightening the batting. I was rapidly running out of time to complete
the project, and now put myself even further behind. Sheesh.
I finished the project in time to submit (on instagram), but not in time to blog about it. Getting photos were challenging - the camera did not like the contrasting colors. this first set captures the blue the best. The second set is a bit more of the electric blue, although the oranges are still a little intense.
Rob wonders if he will get requests when he shows up to the pizza place with this!

That's a fun idea, Sally! And also very pretty with the complimentary colors. Did you use a special batting for the insulation? I bet people will be interested when you take it to pick up a pizza!
