So this quilt isn’t precisely my newest quilt. My newest challenge was a fee that hasn’t been given to the bride but, so this my most up-to-date obtainable quilt challenge.
The sample is from Annies Catalog. My girlfriends wished numerous blues. The sample in Annie’s had a 6” plain middle. I didn’t like that so I did a darker middle with lighter round it. This sample can be very simple to reverse engineer, however I don’t like stealing designers’ concepts. Additionally the Annie’s sample had no borders, which I don’t like. One thing about borders I really feel helps set off a quilt.
First step I needed to redo the quantity for the dimensions of the middle in order that it’s 5 items not one after which do half sq. triangles, slightly than flying geese, and add the nook squares.
After which simply hold placing them collectively.
I kinda over did it on the variety of 3.5” squares wanted, however them can at all times are available helpful someplace else.
I appreciated utilizing all completely different blues, specifically with flowers, birds, or butterflies. I feel simply binding this with out the borders would have been boring. So I added the plain yellow and mottled blue to set it off extra.
My longarm individual received’t have it quilted and sure till Monday, regrettably. I’ll have a pic so as to add subsequent week
So what quilting initiatives are you engaged on?
