Another quilt I don't think I even showed before it was quilted.

And another chevron quilt; they seem to be my thing lately :)

I made this for our youth pastor and his wife. They knew they were having a girl and they were doing the nursery in neutrals and rose gold.

I like a challenge :)

I think I knocked it out of the park on this one.

Quilted with the perfect little girl panto, Lovely.

The fabrics are so soft and delicate; I adore how this turned out.

I used up the last bit of my favourite baby quilt backing. Sadly, I have no idea when I'll get to head south to get more #covid :(

I kept it simple and used the neutral as binding.

It just keep the quilt soft.

Happy Monday!

I could not be more excited

about this quilt.

I posted a week or so ago(you can see the post here).

The panel had to be made bigger but I had no idea how to go about it.

One evening I was browsing Pinterest and I found this

and a plan was formed.

The first step was to raid my stash for some fabrics to match the panel.

I decided to make stars and I raided my Grunge stash hoping I would have enough yardage.

The next morning I realized I made the wrong sized stars. Math is hard lol.

Thankfully I had enough yardage to make a few bigger ones.

I started assembly with the large stars and quickly had an idea for the smaller ones.

And here it is.

It's hard to see in the picture but there is one more border top and bottom on the quilt, it just blends with my flooring.

I can not get over how fantastic this turned out!

And it is rather large coming in at 72x85.

Next challenge.

So far I had only purchased the panel, everything else was stash.

Could I make a backing as well?

Stay tuned.

It seems like every quilt I have made this year has gone to a recipient. Most were planned, some like this one were not.

Those are usually my favourite.

Someone very special to me has had a pretty rough year healthwise. Her birthday was a few days away, the night before we were leaving on a 2 week holiday, and I decided I would make her a quilt.

A few texts with her husband and I had some colour suggestions and away I went.

As pretty as this is, my favourite part is the black binding. I love how it pops.

And that bright pinking backing?

Perfection.

quilted with Contempo

I've made so many of these scrappy chevrons lately and

each one quickly becomes my new favourite.

I can't wait to make another.

Happy Monday!

I was finishing up a quilt for my client Adriana. When I was taking the quilt off my machine, I saw a pin in the backing. So I went to pull it out. And quickly realized that I had quilted the pin into the quilt!
