I quilted it myself, and chose to quilt without batting. I figured it is almost summer and babies don't like being hot...so no batting. It was interesting to quilt and I had a few problems with my bobbin. But after much trial and error I got it quilted and bound.
I love seeing the sun shine the front in the back...Like stained glass or something. |
That minky is so adorable! |
Patchwork is so much fun. It's easy and quick (which equal super fun in my book right now). It is also a wonderful way to showcase those charm squares!
Of course with anything I make...there are imperfections. But as all things tend to do, it can only get better with practice.
Also, an interesting fact - no batting= no crinkle. These pics are after wash.
All of that being said. This quilt was originally made for a couple at my church, but I ended up giving them a different gift. So this quilt is for sell. If you are interested please leave a comment or email me directly.
