I know I've been unusually quiet over here for a while. I'm taking 4 classes this semester, still working at my internship, and have been working a few hours a week as well and will basically be underwater from now until the first week of December. But I have been occasionally working on a knitting project that is slowly making progress and every now and then I have been able to quilt.
I have to admit, this time it was because I was under the gun. A baby shower kinda snuck up on me when I wasn't looking so I had to come up with something fast. Fortunately, I had already set aside a pair of prints that I was in love with... the rest of the fabrics I pulled out of my stash.
The solids are all flannels, the back is fleece.
When I found this apple/bird fabric at a quilt shop a couple months ago I fell instantly in love with it and bought a couple yards of this and it and a coordinating bird print (the outer border).
I didn't have a ton of time (I started this baby on Friday and finished it last night - I think that was about 48 hours) so I decided to let the pretty prints do all the work and keep it simple.
I'm pretty pleased with the results and I think it's future owner will be too. When this post goes live, I'll be at the shower. :) I threw in a couple taggies too, of course. Hope you have a beautiful Sunday!
Lucky baby - it's a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove the leaves... sigh....
I think this was a great fabric for letting the prints do the work - I like how the apple green stinger brings it all together...
ReplyDeleteI hope she cried when she opened it. I would have!

ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable! I'm looking at all your perfect stitching; amazing that you finished it in such a short time. The fabrics you chose are so sweet! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt! So cute! I was sent over here via a link on CraftGossip. I really like the idea of doing a baby quilt in flannels. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Just wanted to stop by to say hello and that I wish you and yours a great holiday. I can see you've been busy with classes and all. I hope your boy is doing well, and that your hubby is feeling well too.
