I've had this little quilt nearly finished for several weeks, but I wanted to give it as a gift before I blogged about it. I just put the label on it and gave it away this week, so now it's really done.
I used a very pale pink Kona cotton for the background.
The patchwork is made of mostly scraps, but I cut into a little bit of my (hoarded) briar rose fabric. It matched too perfectly, I just HAD to. There are SO many happy fabrics jammed into one yummy square.
I used a lovely garden green polka dot for the backing. More polka dots for the binding--no surprise there!
I stippled it with white thread and machine bound it.
It measures about 39" x 41". It is scrap project #62/101.
Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thanks for joining me for finish it up Friday!
The first pic is really great. Nice texture on the quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! I like the pale pink and the view!
ReplyDeleteThis came at the perfect time, Amanda! I need to make a quick quilt for my daughter's friend who is in the hospital and I wanted to do an I-spy kind of thing, but I don't have time to piece 500 squares to get it to her by Monday. This is perfect. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat really is the happiest combination of fabrics - love it.
ReplyDeleteSimple yet beautiful... I wanna make one like this right now! I'm never tired to check your finished projects, always very inspiring... Have a great weekend ;-)

ReplyDeleteAren't baby quilts so fun? The stippling on your quilt makes for such a beautiful result. Can't beat the dots either!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I love it. So glad you were able to cut into stash even. Yes, I'm glad about that. Enjoy ALL the fabric.
ReplyDeletevery nice too I like the way it has only a small area of block then the rest is beautifully quilted, backing and binding works so well too
ReplyDeleteA stunning way to showcase the small blocked prints. I love it, Amanda.

ReplyDeletewhat a sweet quilt! There are a couple of prints in the Briar Rose line that I'm kind of hoarding too--most because the colors are so different from everything else.

ReplyDeleteThis quilt is SEW perfect. The small blocks adds eye catching or focal point to the quilt.
