nursery versery quilt.
I showed a little peek of this quilt last week and more in my binding tutorial, but now I can share the whole thing with you since I finished it today.
To make it look more like a real quilt, I decided to quilt around each square in straight lines. After doing a few rows I decided it would be fun to try out some of the fancier stitches on my machine! I used stitch numbers 103, 121, and 246 along with the straight stitch on my Janome Horizon.
I backed the quilt in a Lecien stripe, which offers some awesome contrast to the front!
