Another quilt from my pile. Check.
I like that feeling of accomplishment. I also like pretty fabrics. Win/win.
This one is for my friend's baby boy. I don't know what her nursery looks like, but it's likely beautiful. Maybe this will complement her decor. But really, I'm not worried if it doesn't, 'cause, you know, not-matching is the new matching. I prefer it. {not-matching, that is.}
quilt pattern: 5" patchwork squares
fabric: nicey jane by heather bailey
quilting: straight lines, 1/4 inch along the seams
front
back
So agree on matchy-matchy decor being a misstep. I still don't understand why super matching and themed decor is still in...
ReplyDeletei like to think of all these babies in a few decades, bestowing their own newborns with these beautiful blankets! isn't that nice to think about?
ReplyDeletei love the colors and different patterns of this one, and that you took the squares all the way out without a border. so beautiful!
it's a nice thought - i hope the quilts get passed down.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors on this one, too. Your work is so perfect.
ReplyDeleteSarah, once again you inspire me to get projects done! Loving the straight line quilting!
ReplyDeleteI just pieced a doll quilt for my daughter with just squares and I could not get any of the seams to line up. What is your trick?!?! I found your site from pinterest and browsed through your quilt posts and they are all amazing! You are very talented!
ReplyDeleteApril,
ReplyDeleteThank you! To match things up, I pin at every seam. It is a bit more time consuming, but so worth it in the end. Whenever I haven't pinned, I am unhappy with how the squares line up too, so I've just learned to pin pin pin!
