Chasing Rain Baby Quilt and Bloggers Quilt Festival.

So the other day I was hanging with a boater friend of mine and we were talking about kayaking and my goodness do I miss being on the water.  And to top it off, lately I have been seeing posts on Facebook of everyone checking levels of creeks and rivers to see what is running where.  So essentially they are "chasing rain".  One particular day when rain chasing was happening I decided to whip up a fun quilt that said to me, chasing rain.  I pulled out my fabrics left from Puddle Quilt and got to cutting.  I sliced up a bunch of equilateral triangles and sewed them together randomly, ending up with this super fun quilt.

 I quilted it by stitching a quarter of an inch outside the diagonal seam lines.

The back is an extra row of the triangles pieced into some solid purples.  (I love how the quilting makes the back look like argyle!)

I headed to the Barnegat Bay bay to snap some pictures before the storm, Sandy, makes her way up the coast.

Maybe I should have called it chased by rain, as soon as I finished with my pictures a quick shower rolled in.

This baby quilt finish comes just in time for Bloggers Quilt Festival hosted by Amy's Creative Side
