I found some pretty fabrics in these colors and pieced together a simple quilt top:
The resident Princess of Pink helped me take pics outside.
This pic shows the colors better without full sunlight shining on it.
SIL loves cherry blossom trees, and my brother requested adding some in "somewhere" on the quilt. Sigh. Oh how we love the input from clueless non-quilters who don't understand you can't just "whip up" cherry blossoms that fit a quilt you already have in your mind and add them in "somewhere."
Lucky for them, Connecting Threads just released their new line, Matsuri, and it has an all over cherry blossom print I think is perfect for a backing.
I plan to baste and quilt it this week, to have done in plenty of time for my trip to see them!

ReplyDeleteIt's just lovely! Can't believe you found such perfect fabric for the backing!!! Can't wait for pics. Tell Sam to poke her head out next time so we can see her beautiful face!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new niece! What a very lucky little girl to receive such a wonderful quilt - the backing fabric looks like it will work perfectly. Your "quilt top holder" deserves an A for doing a great job. :)

ReplyDeletebeautiful quilts! just wanted to say how much i loved reading Wonder as well. and i cried! i think it was all the parenting scenes that got me (i'm the mom of 3) --esp the one where Via sees her mom leaning outside Augie's room in the middle of the night. sigh. and never apologize for going over an hour in your podcast--i really enjoy listening to you while i sew! thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteone of the blogs i read, Loft Creations, recently blogged about the cherry blossom fabric--and with a link to FAQs about lawn fabric--hope it helps:

The baby quilt came out beautifully! Great job!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the arrival of your new niece. She's one lucky little girl to have an Auntie like you. The pink quilt is fantastic! I love the bold design. Such a nice change of pace from the more traditional baby quilts. The Princess of Pink has great taste in socks too!
ReplyDeleteLove the cherry blossom print. We have similar tastes because three yards of that stuff, along with a FQ of each of their fabrics was in my last Connecting Threads shipment. My son and I will be making quilts and little backpacks for his girlfriend's twins - boy and girl - who turn two in May (Not his bio-kids but the love's all the same.) I found the child's backpack pattern on Connecting Threads too.
What a pretty quilt top! Congratulations on your new niece!
