lovely designs: the circle quilt.
2.17.2010
Here is the project that's been keeping me up for the past two weeks. It's a baby quilt for my soon-to-be niece or nephew.
I wanted to make a quilt that was bright and modern and didn't scream "baby". It had to work for a boy or a girl since mommy and daddy have decided to keep it a surprise.
I backed the quilt with a confetti print flannel to make it extra warm and snuggly.
I also made a matching crib skirt out of the blue fabric used on the front of the quilt. Sadly there are no pictures since I didn't have a crib to display it on! I wrapped up the circle quilt and the crib skirt and gave them to my sister-in-law this past weekend. I was so happy to find out that she absolutely loved it! She's now plotting out what else we can make for the nursery in matching fabrics.
I've been thinking of doing a tutorial for the circle quilt. Would you all be interested? It's really simple and perfect for a first time quilter (like myself). Making this quilt was so fun, I'll definitely be making more of them in the future!

So cute! Love this!
ReplyDeleteoh yes.... a tutorial would be awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteI love circles and I love circle quilts!!! I wonder if you posted a tutorial? Going to check that out... I've not been able to sew accurately enough in a circle using my sewing machine - any circle applique I've done in the past was sewn on by hand. I also love quilts where the colorful fabric is many "islands" inside a white background! Lovely!
ReplyDeletePlease send circle quilt tutorial!

I would love a tutorial for this quilt. My mom has quilted for years, by hand. Priceless.
ReplyDeleteI would would love to try this with my Mom. Thanks {^.^}
I have spent the last few nights browsing your blog, and I have to say....I LOVE YOUR IDEAS! I love quilts that are simple and different, and each one I look at, I think "Wow! This is something I never knew I always wanted to do!" If only I could do this full-time! And your eye for pairing fabrics is awesome! Where do you get them?
