summer sunrise quilt

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.

  6. It is a very peaceful quilt and I think the name is perfect. Consider the wonkyness as part of it's charm.

  12. 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

  13. Very Sweet! I think that it being a bit un-squared is a fine. It could be a signature for your baby quilts.

  17. 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)

  41. I wouldn't have noticed about the not square thing... Often we are our own worst critics. I think it is lovely.

  52. 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).
