Baby quilts are always a treat to look at and the one that Roberta finished up recently is just absolutely adorable! She used a line from Moda called Nest, and it couldn't be any more perfect.
Her parents live in a care home out west and have had an amazing gal taking care of them recently, but her days there were numbered as she was expecting a baby and was soon to be off on maternity leave. She's been so good to them that Roberta felt a little token of her appreciation to welcome baby was in order.
It's a simple Nine Patch which is perfect for showing off the lovely soft turquoise, grey, green and coral prints. Luv, luv, luv! The blocks finished off at six inches with a one-inch sashing - my kind of size.
It's quilted with a fun little panto called Moulin Rouge - lots of great twirls and swirls to play against those square blocks. I think she used this pattern on one of Jane's quilts recently and she loved hers too.
The backing, border and sashing are is a lovely soft grey crosshatch by Northcott basic called Dublin.
And the binding print has tiny hugs and kisses (Xs and Os) throughout. How perfect is that???
She got it all made, quilted and bound in time to bundle it off before her friend left on mat leave.
And yes, Miss Ivy gave it her seal of approval.
Once it was in the mail she realized that there were enough remnants to make a second one, and so she did - a perfect excuse to keep playing with that gorgeous fabric.....M
Absolutely adorable and the quilting is whimsical and looks perfect with the straight nine patch pattern.
