Last night I tried to get some pictures of this quilt with two little girls in the room. Emma figured this quilt must be for her since I put it on the floor. She proceeded to crawl all over it, throwing herself back and forth on her tummy claiming it as hers! I wish I could show you the scene, but I couldn't find a picture that wasn't blurry except this one:
Anyway, the block finishes at 6 inches and is made up of 1 rectangle (3 x 6.5) and 2 squares (3 x 3). The white strips are cut 1.5 x 6.5 and 1.5 x 3. Then just add the 1.5 in strip between the blocks and she's done.
I quilted it with a panto called loops and stars. I used the 7 inch, but I think the quilting is a little dense and should have used the 10 inch. It might also be a little denser because of the red fleece I put on the back of it.
Another photo session this morning on the couch. Yep, Emma was here too! Gotta love her.
Ha! It's always exciting when a little one gloms onto your quilt like that. Granted - I see why she did! I love the colors and the composition of this quilt, and am sure the recipient will love to snuggle under it.
ReplyDeleteFun quilt! Well done!
ReplyDeleteAnother great quilt Shannon. Thanks for the measurements. I like the way the 3 inch blocks form a 4 patch - great colors too. Emma is so adorable. Your fabric looks so nice and neat stacked under your long arm.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish made especially cute by the pictures with your little girl. I really like your layout.
