Using up a stack of 2.5 in strips that may have once come as a jelly roll. As mentioned in my previous posts I used Simply Woven quilt pattern by Jessica Kelly of sewcraftyjess.com for Moda. I found her directions superb, I really enjoyed watching the emerging pattern. I ended up making 16 block for this quilt. However, due to a small miscalculation I could only use 12 on the front and 3 on the back. Somehow I mixed up the placement of one of the stripes causing the entire block to not match up with the other 15. One of the downfalls of quilting past your bedtime.
I used an all over quilted swirl on this quilt, trying to balance out the square edges and sharp corners with a few curves and waves.
The back I pieced from a few pieces I had leftover from another quilt + the three blocks I couldn't use on the front. The misfit block that wouldn't work anywhere will probably be made into a journal cover. Only time will tell. This quilt is going up in the basket of quilts to be gifted. More than likely it will find a home with one of the 4 teachers we have this year who are becoming first time parents.
E was my big helper for this photo shoot.
She really got into it. Posing in all sorts of funny positions and faces.
Even she enjoyed this fun quilt.
