So, tonight I am going to share with you my absolute favorite quilt I have made to date. My inspiration (okay, I pretty much copied the block) came from Red Pepper Quilts. I saw this and just fell in LOVE!!! I made this quilt for my Brother-in-law and his wife for their new baby boy, Brycen. I had won this fabric on facebook only contest from a magazine. It was a fat quarter bundle from P&B textiles called Spring Street. This fabric line has been my ultimate favorite. I have made 2 quilts from the bundle and have enough left for one more! Talk about getting your monies worth! (well, if I had to pay for it). okay... here it is
The quilt that Rita at Red Pepper Quilts made had a large white sashing that created other little stars in the meeting points, I didn't have much time to do all that and to be honest, I was done with the half square triangles (well, for a little bit). There are 64 pieces in each block. I had planed on doing a 3 x 3 quilt but ran out of time and went with a 2 x 2 and added 3 borders (white, colored blocks and another white.
I just love it! My wonderful and amazing husband bought me a basic longarm machine (bailey pro 15) for Christmas and I was able to use it on this one. My favorite pattern to use on my quilts lately is this drunken feathers pattern. I bought the pantograph at quiltscomplete.com.
I know it is kinda hard to see. I have only been taking pictures of my projects with my phone (Never thought in a million years I would have started my own blog!!) I also put this in the mail before taking final pictures of it when the binding was all done. I did a really scrappy binding using all the fabrics in the quilt top - just made everything pop. Maybe this summer I can sneak it away and do a mini photo shoot with it and update this post.
