Mom has a quilting table and medium arm quilting machine so I always like to get some quilting done when I visit. This time I got a baby quilt that I'd made the week before and a quilt for my brother's wedding (later this summer) quilted. I don't do any fancy quilting. Just meandering/stippling.
I can't post a picture of the quilt for my brother's quilt until August because I'm keeping it as a surprise for them. (Well, they know that I'm making one, but they don't know what it looks like.) But here is a picture of the baby one. I love how this turned out and am thinking I might make a twin size just like it.
The binding isn't done yet because I'm actually co-making this quilt with a friend. I think I got the better end of the deal, though. She's splitting the cost and doing the binding and I did the rest. After all, the cost is the only yucky part of making a quilt.
I love it! I hope you post the one for your brother's wedding on the group quilt site.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! The colors are wonderful. Can't wait to see it with the binding.
ReplyDeletei love the baby quilt! very pretty!
ReplyDeleteErica its just darling. I do think it would make a really sweet twin quilt. Its really perfect. I had a quilt similar to it when I was a girl. Oh how I wish I knew where that quilt went to. Sigh. I can't quite remember all of it or I would recreate it. I'm going to go through old slides/pics to see if there is one in family photos showing it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I love it.
The quilts is beautiful. I love the little red sashing squares. They're a great countpoint to the soft blues.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute quilt. I love the little splash of red.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to go spend time at you Mom's house.
Great quilt - I have a grandbaby boy coming, think I will follow your lead. Nice to find your blog!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt. It reminds me of a Civil War reproduction.
