Alexander’s quilt
This is a sweet and quick finish that I made for a christening in our extended family. I saw some scraps on my table from previous projects that looked comfy and fresh, and I got to work.
As I worked, I fell more and more in love with the fabric combinations, light blues, soft neutrals, a tiny bit of white, and pops of citrus. The colors make it cozy enough for a nap but fun enough for a play mat.
The quilting is organic lines spaced about an inch and a half in Aurifil Light Brass. I put a pop of yellowish green in the binding and washed it for a good crinkle. (It was so fun to pull it out of the dryer and broadcast it on Instagram Stories!)
The method was fun and freeing– I used my Planned and Unplanned protocol, which I’ll be teaching at QuiltCon in February! More on that front to come, hope you’re enjoying your July.
Lovely!
Lucky baby – this is great!
I love the simplicity of it. I am really getting into these more Modern art quilts. Because I can make one without a pattern and no right or wrong plan. You have inspired me also to do my own straight line quilting.I love everything you do.
I bet that is one soft and cuddly baby quilt. I hope you are also having a lovely July. 🙂
These colors! Lovely finish. I adore the first wash crinkle.
