I’ve heard someone describe themselves recently as having an addictive personality. That fits me to a T. I’ve had many obsessions come and go in my life over the years. I just may have found a new one 😉
I’ve always thought quilting seemed fun. But I always figured it was tedious and took forever and would be frustrating. I don’t have any sewing skills. I’ve had a sewing machine for years and years but have rarely used it. As you know, I’ve been hooked on Pinterest lately. Mostly I look for ideas to organize or work on my home. I stumbled across the blog of a quilter who has the most gorgeous home and her quilts inspired me to give it a whirl.
I’m loving all the fun happy bright quilts on Pinterest. I adore navy’s right now so my color scheme revolved around including navy. I found an inspiration quilt and then just made up the squares using strips. I always figured quilting took forever so I was surprised by how quickly a quilt can come together. This is snuggle quilt so it’s a bit smaller than a twin. I gave this one to Kir and now I’ve got two boys waiting for theirs. Hoping I don’t lose interest before I finish them 😉
I machine quilted using a zig zag stitch. I just played around with the settings until I liked what I saw.
Not gonna lie… I was pretty impressed with myself on this one! Don’t inspect the stitching too closely though… 😉
I love it!
It’s so pretty! I need to make a quilt of 5.
That is super impressive!! And per Kendall – ‘she made it cuter than ours. I like hers.’ Hmmph!
hahah… that made me lol!
It’s so pretty!!! Love the pattern that you used! Maybe this is what I should do with my piles and piles..and piles of scrap fabric? Been trying to figure out how to use them up….
Soo many cool quilts can be made out of scraps! And I’m sure you have some super fun fabrics in that scrap pile!
