BABY QUILT TOP


The quilt top for baby Sebastian is finished.  I love how it turned out and how well the fabrics all go together.  It was a really quick and easy quilt to sew and I love how the fabrics stand out on the grey background.  I was going to use white as the background but the fabrics just didn't look right, I'm happy I went with the grey.  I have decided I'm going to get out of my comfort zone of straight line quilting and give stippling a go.  Stippling is an all over squiggly, swirly type pattern.  I'm going to have to do some practicing before I work on the real thing so for the next few days I will be practicing and hopefully I master the technique.  Be back with a finished quilt soon.


Have a great week.

OK I believe you on the Stippling - not us with all the terms, I have seen it done and love it.

Happy quilting

Hi Carol, it looks lovely, so many pretty fabrics that really compliment each other. I'm sure you'll have no trouble stippling, from what I've seen! You do such lovely work! Thanks for visiting too and I totally agree with your first decision, if I had money to burn I'd rip out the whole lot and start again. But that ain't gonna happen so will have to wait and see. Take care, Maryann
