Quilt #3! In truth, I've only finished the top so far but I think that counts, doesn't it? I've now washed the backing fabric and sorted my batting so I'm ready to get on with basting and quilting but I wanted to share this project with you all the same.
I'm so pleased with how it turned out! You may recall that I had wanted to arrange the HST's in a colour rainbow-sequence pattern but the recipient (son #3) preferred a random placement of blocks. I'm not going to say he was right but I'm more than happy with how the random-ness has worked out. I decided to space the extra blocks around the centre piece because the centre on its own wasn't big enough. And then I decided it needed a little more width so went with the loud lime border. Since this photo was taken on Monday I've been asked a thousand times if it's ready yet, so I had better get cracking at the weekend!
I'm going to link this post up with Finish it up Friday over at crazymomquilts.blogspot.co.uk I spend far too much time on Friday evenings reading the many wonderful blogs over there. If you are reading my blog via this link up, thank you for stopping by!
Love Natalie x
Great quilt. I agree with the son about the randomness. Don't kids nag when it's for them xx
ReplyDeleteGreat choice by your son, hope you get it finished soon for him :)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a happy quilt! I know he'll enjoy it. I like the blocks in the border--adds interest and movement.

Love the colours - it's very difficult to make a quilt masculine but you've succeeded! My son is 14 and point blank refuses to let me make him a quilt. One day!!
