Alrighty, folks...I have finally finished the second scrap quilt I actually like. Well, sorta finished. If a section of that binding looks a little fat it's because it's not hand sewn to the back yet. SHHH...don't tell.
I really like this design for scraps. It would work perfectly with a jelly roll for the 4 patches and a solid honey bun for the sashing.
I decided to try a very bubbly quilting that is sort of like the pumpkin patch quilting I tried from Leah Day's Freemotion Quilting Project. I wasn't as happy with this on the backside:
but ya know, it did give a really neat texture and I get very bored with just stippling. I want to be good at quilting, not just piecing. To do that, I have to practice. I am giving this to a very sweet person who won't judge my imperfect quilting. If you are giving quilts to people who will judge you, you are giving quilts to the wrong people!
I really like the fact that this is kind of I-Spyish since this will be going to a baby in a house full of children. I think it will be fun for them. I can picture mom nursing the baby under the quilt while she asks the big brother and sister to find pictures on the quilt.
this turned out really cute, I'm thinking it would look great with left over binding strip pieces, I have a bin of those.... good job on the quilting I LOVE leah Day designs... are you long arming these
ReplyDeleteIt's a great quilt... the back looks fine... you were brave to use a white bobbin... shows everything! good work.
ReplyDeleteHi. Loving this. Would you please share the dimensions of the four patch blocks. I've got sooo many scraps and I can see me starting one of these in the new year.
ReplyDeleteCool idea for using a jelly roll, looks great!
ReplyDeleteI like that quilt pattern so much! It would be a great stash-buster. And I love the quilting - sort of looks like wonky bubbles to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the judging thing! I love this quilt! What a great way to display a lot of lOVED materials!!
ReplyDeleteReally love the skinny four patch. This finished up so fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLove this skinny four patch, the colors are so pretty also. Who is this pattern by or did you design it?
ReplyDeleteLooks cool! What a great way to use up those little bits of rolls we all have. I'm going to have to add this to my list of quilts to do! thanks for sharing.
