I have been working on stuff, just not posting about it here.
I need to get better at that! Anyhow, I finished 2 baby quilts over the weekend. The first one is the chevron (zig zag?) quilt I talked about in my last post.
Here it is:
It's made out of leftovers from fat quarters. I bought the entire set of Max and Whiskers by Moda. I think this was the 4th quilt I made from them. When I was done with this quilt, I cut the remaining scraps into 2" squares. I will have that quilt completed soon.
I call this the "Charlie Brown" quilt. The black and yellow zig zag reminds me of Charlie Brown's shirt.
I also quilted a disappearing 4-patch top that I made quite awhile ago...
It's hard to tell in this picture, but the red fabric has white flowers. Because of the flowers, I am thinking this will be for a baby girl.
No piecing on either back..... just one piece of fabric
I quilted them with straight lines. On the first quilt, I followed the zig zag pattern. I did not use a walking foot, and they turned out much better than when I use a walking foot.
Linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts Finish It Up Friday....
These are both wonderful baby quilts! My favorite is the Charlie Brown one. All you need to do now is go buy another FQ pack and start a whole new set of baby quilts!
ReplyDeleteI love your colour choices, Karen ... very cheerful quilts! And you blog when you can, it's always lovely to see what you've been up to :)
ReplyDeletewhat a fun chevron quilt! I'm making some myself. I like how your rows aren't the same fabric.
