The super simple quilt from baby quilt week is done. I absolutely love this one. The quilting really shines because of the simplicity of the design. The binding pops. The texture is spot on-full of crinkly goodness.
As you can see in this photo, I have some work to do with squaring up my quilts before binding. Aw, well. I'm a firm believer that wonky is good.
The quilt measures 40" x 49".
Thanks to Josie who commented that it looks like a summer sunrise, thus naming this quilt for me. Hope you don't mind, Josie.

love love love it! :)
Simple and lovely! Wonderful quilt for a baby.
I remember this as one of my very favorites. Some little one is going to be so happy with this around them.
love it
i wouldnt pick the wonky if u didnt mention it..: )
It's a beautiful quilt.
It is a very peaceful quilt and I think the name is perfect. Consider the wonkyness as part of it's charm.
i have just found your site. thanks for sharing with me. i just love this quilt...!, and as far as squaring off....i'm a firm believer that everything comes out in the wash.
aww, this is really sweet. I need to make a quilt for a girl at work who is having a little boy in January. This might be good inspiration for that!
I really like the colors in this one, too--so serene, just like a sunrise.
Good name!
A suitable name for a lovely, all be it wonky, quilt! * wink-wink!
I do wonky too... 8-)
Happy stitchings!
I have that problemtoo. My is due to my lack of space. No room to cut.
Looks fabulous! Try photographing your quilts without any straight lines in the background and we will not notice if it is square or not!LOL
Very Sweet! I think that it being a bit un-squared is a fine. It could be a signature for your baby quilts.
it is great!! the quilting is so loved looking.
I love it! Sometimes simple says so much, you are right, the binding really pops!
It is perfectly named, a lovely quilt, you make is seem so easy.
As part of your tutorials for Christmas gifts, could you show us how to make the coffee cozies please?
Thanks, Jodie
Lucky baby who gets to cuddle up with this quilt.
You did a wonderful job of quilting and the binding realy does just pop off. As for being wonky....well tell them all that's the way it was supposed to be. It said so on the side of the bottle,didn't it? ...(*LOL*)...
I don't think there's one of us who hasn't made a wonky something or other , some of us (me for instance) it's a hit and miss. Like "surprize!!.it's straight this time", so your in good company.
Keep up the wonderful work.
~~Fran...:c)
Lovely! The quilting looks fantastic... just right for that bright and clean background.
I'm a member of the Wonky Is Wonderful Club, too.
I think Summer Sunrise is a beautiful name for your quilt. I love the colors you chose and the quilting is gorgeous!
It’s beautiful in all it’s simplicity!!
It's gorgeous! I like the colors! They make me think of ice-cream....and candy :-)
I love the simplicity of this quilt.
That is so beautiful!
It's gorgeous. Wonderful color choice.
Looks lovely. I hope the baby waking up with it (at sunrise, no coubt) enjoys it too!
Oh that is so sweet!!! It looks very soothing to me! p.s I never get around to squaring up mine either! But no one has ever complained! Libby
What a perfect little quilt! Once again thanks for the inspiration.
That is SO lovely. Simple and wonderful and full of the crinkly goodness.
Wonderful quilt, wonderful name!

So simpls and sweet! The colors are very calming :)
that looks simple enough that i could do it, maybe :D it is beautiful!
simply lovely. your quilting is so inspiring for me. i'm in the middle of my first free motion quilt. wouldn't have done it without your encouragement. thanks.
Beautiful simplicity! I love it :)
stunning!
i never would have guess that is was not square. i think that is one of hardest parts for me.
I love the picture of the quilt on the crib!
it's beautiful! i love the simplicity. perfect backdrop for a sweet babe atop :)
Love it. But then love everything you do.
BTW - You can't tell it's not square. I don't check mine - I don't want to know. grin
Not wonky at all!!! It's beautiful. As always.
Ooh, I love this Amanda! The simplicity of it is perfect. I think you just inspired my afternoon project. :) Thanks!
beautiful, aj! i love that binding.
I love this quilt! I am so drawn to simple quilts. I need to make a baby quilt for my co-worker who once was my master teacher...so it has to be wonderful...and I'm thinking something just like this would be perfect. Plop it on the long arm and go to town!
I wouldn't have noticed about the not square thing... Often we are our own worst critics. I think it is lovely.
Ha! I had to go back and read the original post to find the comment I left. I have such a bad memory but I'm glad at least I said something useful. Looks beautiful, as always.
this is so simple and so gorgeous! lovely job!
Simply lovely! the colors are the perfect hues together. I'm all for wonky...

Cute quilt! Sometimes simple is best.
It's absolutely perfect!
It just goes to show that sometimes simple is better. That top photo is gorgeous.

Wonky is good! I'm so glad that you get that. Although one would be hard-pressed to find wonkiness in your work. This piece is just gorgeous (you knew, though, that it appeals to my minimalist tendencies).
all my fave colors in one quilt-love it!
Well, let me be the 55th person to tell you how pretty this is:
I love it!
