At last i finished Pretty in Pink, it's quilted and binded, I only need to applique the label with the name at the back. Baby G. is already 2 months old, and she has a new cousin, baby E. who is also waiting for a quilt, so it's time I continue working!
This quilt is made of my pink stash, some "it's a Hoot" for Moda, and some Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman. Some of the fabrics are from my collection.
The backing is a sheet from Ikea. I bought few of their children's sheets, they have lovely prints, wash very well, and are very soft and easy to work with.
For the binding is I used one of the pink striped fabrics from the quilt.
The quilt is 91 x 93 cm, 36 x 37 inch. I quilted it minimally - straight lines through the colored squares.
It's very girly, and I'm very happy with the result. This is the first girly quilt I ever made!
I'm linking to Fabric Tuesday at Quiltstory and to Quilt Summer Fair at Gen X Quilters.
Ooooo I love that pretty in pink. I love girlie quilts like that, even though I have all boys. Maybe that's why? :)
ReplyDeleteSo darling! I love the quilting design you went with it, it shows off the pattern and the fabrics so well! And I love the idea of using the sheet for the back. I'm planning a trip to Ikea soon I have a feeling I am going to come home with way more then a really "need"
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely in its girl-li-ness! Wonderful!!!
