I don't want to make any promises, assuming I just up and disappear again for an unknown period of time. But today, I'm back - and I've got photos and projects to share!
I completed my very first quilt a couple of weeks ago and shipped it off to a lovely brand-new baby boy named Henry. I hope he loves it for a long time. I failed to take photos of the quilt during any of its construction, a mistake I will not make again anytime soon.
Next up? Rainbows and sunshine...
The design is loosely based on Thea's Puzzle Quilt by Amy Butler.
I think the back of this will include a long pieced strip down the middle, with kona bone borders on either side. I'm still debating on binding, and how it will be quilted. I'm not a huge fan of free-motion quilting, even though this pattern probably lends itself to that look. I tend to think that unless you're extremely experienced, it just looks sloppy. Experienced I am not, so this will probably be some variation of straight-line quilting.
I'm also working on another baby quilt. I don't have great photos quite yet, but I'll be sure to share once I get some. I'm hoping to finish the quilt above by next Saturday - wish me luck!
