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.
so pretty! i love those colors.
ReplyDeleteStunningly beautiful-the colors just sing to me and that binding is the best ever !~!
ReplyDeleteLove it! One of my favorite basic patterns, and such cheery, bright prints for a cheery little girl! Adore the flowers in the triangle blocks!
