It was a very simple quilt to make but I like the bold graphicness of the finished pattern. I used a variety of blues, teals and navies, with a few oranges thrown in for contrast. The backing is the oft used Ikea number print. And the binding is an assortment of the same fabrics used in the quilt top.
For purposes of a speedy finish I just stippled it all over. It wasn't my first choice of quilting as I really would have liked to straight line quilted it, but I knew I could do the stipple in a fraction of the time.
I now have a box to fill with the various items to send to our family in Sweden. I think that just over a week to make it there in time for Christmas should be okay. Fingers crossed.

There's no stopping you at the moment!
ReplyDeleteOrange + Blue = Happiness. Absolutely brilliant choice for a small fella. Now get to that post office!
ReplyDeleteI made a quilt using the same block last year for my nieces baby quilt. My arrows pointed the other direction!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great looking quilt and looks like it was a quick sew. I need to get some quick sews put together. It seems I am up to my ears in projects that are too big. The colors you chose here are perfect for a baby boy. It will grow with him, too.
