Fresh out of the wash, Oh Fransson!'s Mod Sampler quilt-along quilt.
It's a gift for the daughter of an old friend.
There's a WHOLE lot of pink in this baby. Much more than I would normally go for but when someone looks this great in pink, come on! I'm pretty sure I had no choice.
The blocks were made entirely from fabric I already had. That was great. These are all fabrics that I really like but I just don't find a lot of opportunities to use them.
I bought the backing and sashing fabrics. The sashing is linen which I've never used in a quilt before. It was a little trickier than cotton. It can be pretty wily. I do really like how it turned out though.
The label is a piece of the linen I used for the sashing. It's stamped with Jacquard textile ink.
Gracie's mom is allergic to cats so I tried really hard to keep this quilt cat free. Stabone is sulking because I won't let him lie on it.
Wow. That's awesome! I am totally inspired to dig my machine out and make something. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNice work. Nicer cat...
ReplyDeleteWow! That's fantastic! She will treasure it always.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the tag on that! How wonderful for a gift!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I meant to actually be a part of the quilt along...just didn't work out. Your quilt definitely inspires me to go ahead and have a go at it! She's gonna love it!
ReplyDeleteYour new quilt is gorgeous. I'm not much for pink either, but wow, maybe I was wrong!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! It's so girly and pink and I'm sure the new recipient will love it!
