There's just something about a patchwork quilt that I love. Oh, and polka dots.
This quilt is for a friend whose baby girl {Emma} is due in about 3 weeks. The dots and stripe are by Michael Miller {can't find an active link} with some Kona solids mixed in.
Here's a view of the back.
Time saving how-to: With a rotary cutter, cut fabric into long strips - 4 1/2 inches x width of fabric: 6 white, and 5 patterned. Then, using a quarter inch seam, sew each patterned fabric strip to a white strip. Iron seems open, or to one side (the patterned side). Using your rotary cutter, cut now-sewn strips into 4 1/2 inch pairs. Cut your extra white strip into 4 1/2 inch squares. Use these to fill in where needed. Layout squares how you want them on the floor. Sew together using 1/4 inch seams.
This quilt is 9 x 10 squares. Gray, citron, pink and white.
