It is that time again to link up the finished project for A Lovely Year of Finishes. I have to say, I know I need to do this project all month but somehow it gets pushed off and I always finish just in the nick of time. This month I chose to finish a
baby quilt that has been sitting around for quite a while. It started out as being part of a queen size quilt in January 2012 that I wanted to make for myself, but then I changed my mind. Part of it was made into a fun tote bag and another part is sitting in pieces in a box for another project. This larger piece I decided to make into a baby quilt.
I saw this clamshell like freemotion pattern on another blog recently, maybe about a month or 2 ago, and I can't seem to remember where (if anyone knows so I can post a link I would love the info!)
I thought the quilting matched well with the fabrics that I chose. I have to say, though, that I was using my old machine and we were having some words during the quilting. I have never ripped out so much quilting before!
But I love the outcome! So happy to have this done.
Beautiful! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, love love the waves! If you are out west, come yak the Salmon River. We live near by and love it! Looking forward to seeing more of your projects. Happy Sewing!
ReplyDeleteI really like the fabric. It kind of has the retro feel.
ReplyDeleteYes it is fantastic. Great finish even with the seam ripper being around.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up.
Beautiful! I really like the clam shell quilting. Great job!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, Congratulations on the ribbon for your quilt. I found your blog thru Alison Brannick. I am a secretary in the school where she teaches and today she was telling me about your quilts so naturally I had to google you and see what your quilts were like.
ReplyDeleteEverything is unique and lovely...
