Gifted

This lovely wall of colour is Anne's latest creation - a baby gift for her dentist. Isn't it sweet?













The bright solids paired with all of those happy ginghams are a lovely combo for a new baby boy - there's lots here to keep his interest.












When I first saw it she had started laying out the quilting design with wide painter's tape so that she could quilt it by machine.












Ultimately, she sewed the same design horizontally and vertically, creating a nice open crosshatch that worked beautifully with the simple blocks.











And that quilting was echoed somewhat in the lovely flannelette that she used for the backing. So sweet.....M

Ha! I'm glad you explained what those wider green pieces were. I couldn't figure it out at first. Wide painters tape is a great idea for not marking the quilting lines.
