I dived into my stash bins once again and gathered cute fabrics for a baby quilt. This time there is a farm theme with lots of animals.
The backing is a lovely double gauze, so soft and cuddly. The free motion quilting shows off very well on the back.
This time I got hold of lots of striped fabrics and some other nice, colorful prints. This turned into a very cheerful quilt consisting of 192 blocks of finished size 4".
The backing is a colorful sheet .
This quilt demanded an old fashioned diagonal quilting, see how cuddly it got after the quilting was done!
I had a bunch of matching fabrics that was perfect for a boy's quilt, different blues with browns and neutrals. The fabrics were cut into 5" squares and puzzled into a pleasing design. I even had room for a single pinwheel block and some improvised blocks from leftovers.
The finished size is 45" x 54" and quilting is done in a cross hatch design with two different golden colored threads. The backing is a brown checkered flannel, which makes the quilt nice and cuddly.
I utilized leftover batting pieces and made a "Frankenbatting" piece that fit exactly, a win in my book! The final touch was a blue and white striped binding.
I joined the #thrivequiltsa hosted by Suzy Quilts and made a crib sized Thrive Quilt in cool blue and green tones. The fabric is Birchtree Lane from Connecting Threads, from a few years back. This is going to be gifted to a little boy, and I know he will be thrilled by all the birds and feathers in the fabric. The backing is a whole piece of the bird fabric in aqua, and that will keep him occupied when he is going to learn to count!
Finished size of the quilt is 38" x 55". It is quilted with diagonal lines, and looks good displayed on the white picket fence.
