(the avacado table cloth in the background is not doing these colors any favors)
I am calling this quilt Baby Blocks. It is aprox 42 x50 all washed up. The backing is MM Dainty Damask. I love this fabric! I got to use one of my new labels on this quilt, the first one!
I started this in November and got the top done but then stalled out with distraction from Christmas projects. I then got panicked because my last binding was icky and didn't want to move forward till I figures out how to improve that. I surfed around and read/watched all the binding tutorials I could find and picked up a couple different techniques. I ended up doing it almost exactly as demonstrated by Red Pepper Quilts tutorial and am very happy with it.
I am sharing this for Friday Sew & Tell. Be sure to head over there and check out all the other great projects people did this week.
What a great quilt...lucky baby!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is sew much fun! I love the colors and the binding is perfect for the blocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat Friday Finish!
Great colors! Even your label is cool. I am the WORST at binding. I had to put Old Red Barn's tutorial on my blog because I couldn't find it for hours one day. Grrr. Your binding looks fantastic. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the colors with these simple blocks. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blues and greens! And what a label! Love it!
ReplyDeleteDiane,
ReplyDeleteAdorable - I love those greens!!!
LUV the quilt Diane.
ReplyDeleteHow did you do your label? I have done mine in the past with stitch witch and ironed it on and then hand stitched around the label. I'm just curious.
I love this! I think I want to use this to make a fabric with my girl chirp fabric. Did you use a tutorial, a pattern, or did you just wing it?
ReplyDeleteso beautiful! I love it. Love the backing & binding fabric you chose.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
