Ok, so it took me like 5 months to finish my first easy-peasy square quilt. So because I have so much extra time on my hands I decided to do ANOTHER quilt. My sewing machine was calling out to me for attention. I was browsing my blog list and came upon
this nice pattern that would make a great quilt for me.
Above All Fabric was hosting a spring quilt along that provided a timeline. I had the perfect charm pack in mind for this. I made each nine patch block whenever I found small blocks of time. I made it bigger than the pattern called for b/c this quilt was for me. Making this quilt made me realize that I like making quilts slowly and not rushing through. The process of quilting calms my mind. Here it is before I added the borders:
With the borders added:
The pieced back is a combination of fabric I found at Ikea and some Bella and Kona solids.
The binding is a black and white stripe. This quilt is the perfect size for me to cuddle with. The hubs has put in an order for a quilt that's big enough for his 6 foot tall self. To that I said Yipeee! Just the excuse I needed to buy more fabric.
Front: Punctuation by American Jane, Kona solid in white for sashing
Back: Striped Ikea fabric, Bella and Kona solids
Binding: Black and White stripe-no name on selvedge
Quilting: Straight line quilting
One of my favorite quilts I've seen! :)

ReplyDeleteI like how you sashed it. Welcome to blogland!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! And doesn't it feel good to make something for yourself? I love the way you did the back, too, with the blocks of color. Excellent quilt!
