I have finally finished my first official quilt! I have made plenty of blankets and I only have the binding left to do on my other quilt, but this is my first start to finish quilt-quilt.
I made this for my beautiful new niece, Maris. It was the perfect excuse to make a smaller quilt that I COULD actually finish :).
I have had pink and green swimming in my head since the pattern testing for Patty and a lot of fun scraps of her fabric as well. So I paired her Flora & Fauna and Mezzanine fabrics with some Farmer's Market from Sandi Henderson, Summer Soiree dots from Paula Prass, Soiree from Lila Tueller and a little Pop Garden from Heather Bailey. All my favorite designers!
The pattern is Vintage Baby by Kati Cupcake. I decided against the ruffles which I love but I just didn't think it needed it.
I machine stippled it and then washed it to give it all that crinkly goodness! And then I did my first hand sewn binding. Man, were my fingers sore!
Lovely, I have some of those fabrics, but I don't quilt myself. I guess I'll turn it into clothes for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteDear Aunt Ellie,
ReplyDeleteI love my quilt! When my mama opened the package, she couldn't decide whether to hang it on the wall or let me use it. I'm so glad I get to sleep on it. Thank you so much! I love you!
Love,
Maris
