A while back I played with some Moda Wee Woodland charm squares, and here are the pictures of my process of just making it up as I went along( just winging it : )
 |
| Sew 30 five inch squares together like this. |
 |
| Cut a 2..5inch strip off one side. |
 |
| Sew the strip to the other side. |
 |
| Now cut again in 6 equal pieces as shown. |
 |
| Mix them up and sew together into 3 units as shown. |
 |
| I then added 2.5 inch strips of Kona cotton between the units |
 | |
| I framed it all around with 2.5 inch strips of Kona cotton and then added a brown sashing strip and another border. |  |
It is not perfect but it is still a soft cuddly baby quilt. I always like the crinkly look of a quilt after it has been washed. It was quick and easy to put together with charm squares and I hope with practice my machine quilting will improve! The quilt measurements are 32 X 42 inches.
If you have time take a look at some of my mini quilts. I have started making them to try new techniques and color combinations and I am enjoying the process. I have started a Little Quilt Monday link up party so we can share little projects and be inspired by each others mini quilts(mug rugs, pot holders, doll quilts, table runners, wall hangings....finished or not....there aren't any rules : )

I hope you will visit the Bloggers' Quilt Festival hosted by Amy's Creative Side and get some inspiration as you visit other blogs and see all the beautiful quilts.

Love the colors and the style. Great work!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for this sweet little baby quilt. Thanks for explaining how you did the piecing.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking through your mini quilts that you've linked too - they are all absolutely gorgeous - I love the idea of trying out new techniques and getting a beautiful result quickly. But I do have one question: what do you do with them all? I would love to try some, but I can hear my husband and mum both saying, "now what are you going to do with it" - stroke it, love it....
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing your process!

ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely design. The fabrics look great. What a gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely quilt and your technique is very clever, thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty neat. I just ended up putting together a mini flying geese with much the same process. Start with precuts and go where it leads. Now I have these mini scrappy geese for a swap that I'm pretty pleased with. I should be finishing it up today so I will have to link up tomorrow. :D
