This was so much fun to put together, I've never ironed open the seams before in a quilt, it lays so incredibly flat! Its going to quilt so smooth, think I'll do something curvy on all those straight lines.
And the back is almost as pretty as the front!
Happy to have gotten this top done, since I have a lot going on... I joined Amandajean's 9 patch quilt a long - all greens and some Moda cream for the center square and sashing, this will be a large lap size for my Mom and Dad for Christmas.
I have 4 blocks done so far - and lots of squares cut, hopefully not too many.
Sometimes I do that.
Also I joined the Nothing But Scraps group, since I have two boxes of scraps that I would really like to be gone - or at least get smaller! Its going to be a paper pieced New York Beauty, I've had the papers hanging around for a long time, its called Cinco de Mayo by Karen Stone.
And lastly, I jumped in on Beth's Scrappy Christmas block swap!

I LOVE the pink quilt Wendy! (Pink is my favorite color.) I might have to make that in a grown-up girl size. :)
Lovely! I should try and make a dent in my scraps in my next project!
Oh I love the simplicity pinks in this, this has given me some ideas for charity quilts too as its so simple thankyou for showing me the idea!

uh, yeah, the back looks awesome too!
Great quilt!!
I love all of your projects! Beautiful!
I want to make the pink quilt! do you know where i can find the pattern?
Can you please tell me what pattern you used for this quilt? I would love to make something like this for my friend that is due in August. Thanks!
In my googling for baby quilt inspiration, I came across this page. This quilt is GORGEOUS. I love your fabric choices!
I am new to quilting. Could you tell me why you chose to press seams open as opposed to pressing to the dark?
I'm wondering if pressing the seams open felt like a lot more work? The quilt looks so pretty.
i came across your site while hunting for a pattern for a baby boy. this pink quilt is gorgeous - with your permission, i am going to try something similar in blue.
thanks.
