My baby sister is getting married this summer so I wanted to whip up a quilt to help them celebrate for a shower gift.
I was eyeing a pattern that was beautiful but would require a whole lot of time as well as precision in the piecing.
Yeah I chose something else.
Otherwise it would be more likely to become quilt to be given to her at a future baby shower.
I used the Lawn Chair pattern from Moda Bake Shop and half of a A Stitch in Color jelly roll.
I love the fun colors and the way it looks like a woven lawn chair. And the fabric.
Swoon.
Oh and how easy it came together. In a non-precise sort of way.
On the back I added my paper pieced LOVE to make it more wedding-ish.
Now it has a home on their couch. And all that snuggling underneath since this spring been so…well it looks nice at least.
I really like it! I'm working on my first baby quilt right and hope to post it in the next month or so. Like your modern fabric choices.

ReplyDeleteDang, that is awesome! But I think my favorite part is the LOVE on the back. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Is that some of the rare Moda gray crossweave in the backing? Fabulous!
