i've got a new tutorial up today over @ the moda bake shop!
this quilt is super special to me!
i've been working on it for months & surprised my brother and his wife with it right before the baby was born!
{with lots of help from my mom!}
and speaking of my mom...
i hope you are having fun in cali mom!
i miss you lots!
this quilt was inspired by the one i made for my nephew a few years ago
changes
i did a 7x7 layout instead of 9x9
i changed the block size to use pre-cuts
i added the name in the middle & didn't add photos
i did 2 borders instead of one
and if you didn't guess by now...
this is the new block for round #2 of the modern siggy swap!
signups will start tomorrow!
i love binding with striped fabric and cutting it on the bias!
basic binding instructions can be found here.
happy mother's day!
see you soon!!

ReplyDeleteAdorable quilt. I will definitely sign up for the swap again. This time I will find a way to sign the blocks so they are legible. I have the worst printing and hand writing known to man.

Great looking quilt!
ReplyDeleteAlso, wanted to tell you: I was home this weekend, with my parents, and my mother and I went into her favorite quilt shop, where we both bought a few things. The shop has a few magazines, and I found Quilts and More with your circle around pattern on the cover! I grabbed it, and said "I know her!" to the shopkeeper, and then explained that I read your blog :) She thought it was super cool.
Also, my mother gave me her old selveges to send to you, so they are all on their way this week!
Oh I love this idea!!!This is such a wonderful quilt :D
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the siggy swap...missed the sign ups last time :)
Love the quilt (especially that binding)!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely signing up for the siggy swap this time...and if you need help sorting when they come in you know who to call!
This is just darling! I love the name in the middle and the colors, precious. Thanks for sharing your lovely blog, keep up the great work!
