Friday Finish: Hello Sunshine Jacob's Ladder Quilt, and Blogger's Quilt Festival!

A finish for this Friday, for my 4Q FAL list, and for the Blogger's Quilt Festival.
That's a lot of pressure, for one little quilt. Still, here she is:


A quilt for my baby girl!


I think she likes it!


The block is called Jacob's Ladder, and I kinda figured out how to maximize my fat quarter bundle with the pattern. A whole lot of half square triangles and four patches later and I have one big happy quilt.



I quilted it on my sister's Gammill long arm (way too much fun, lemme tell ya!). I did flowers on the diamonds, then a loopy meander everywhere else.


Backed in cozy red birdy (my girly loves bird-birds) flannel and bound in a sherbet-y bias stripe. Because I LOVE a stripey binding. Or gingham. Or polka dots. But this time, stripes for sure.


Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts and the Blogger's Quilt Festival. Best category for me? Bed quilt, or photography, I suppose.
