Quilting Heidi Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 This is a quilt I made for a great nephew due in July. I am very pleased. I used a cuddle fabric on the back and it is yummy! Hubby threatened to steal it. LOL I did the applique with my embroidery machine, designs by Bunnycup. I was very happy with these digitized patterns. The shower is Sat. and the final quilt is a surprise. My nephew and his wife picked out the quilt motifs and general style and then told me to do my thing. I hope she loves it! She has only seen the zebra. Thanks for looking. Front IMG_1401 by merrih2, on Flickr Back IMG_1403 by merrih2, on Flickr A few of my favorites but I love them all. More on my flicker page.

Quilting Heidi Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 ADORABLE! Love that border - how did you do it (just rulers) Cathy it was a stencil. Charlotte (CWBowser) had it and it was a perfect fit. I knew I wanted a cable pattern for that border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 That looks great. I love the circle background fill. That's one I just can't get the hang of. Your border design is fabulous. Looks like it took a lot of planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 That looks great. I love the circle background fill. That's one I just can't get the hang of. Your border design is fabulous. Looks like it took a lot of planning. Thanks Teresa. This is the first time that I did the circle background and it wasn't bad once I got my rhythm. I usually do a swirl where you don't have to backtrack at all but this worked up pretty quickly. I got the impact I wanted from it so I'm happy. The border design was actually pretty easy to fit in and didn't take much planning. I started in the middle with the square on point. Then worked to the corners. I marked the very corner and then made the lines longer or shorter to match it to the borders. I had this quilt pictured in my head right from the start, except that I didn't account for the blue sashing right. My original plan was to do what I did in the brown throughout because I wanted to make sure to capture the zig zag placement of the colors but soon realized that I couldn't do that in both the blue and the brown or it would just look like I did straight lines. I decided that the diagonal lines would do the trick in the blue sashing and still lead the eye to follow the zig zag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
