If you visit my blog regularly, this will be a repeat; but I wanted to enter my Oink A Doodle Moo quilt in Amy's Quilt Festival and that required a new post.
A special little girl I know is
going to be a big sister soon. This is the baby/toddler size quilt I made her. She
lives next door to her grandma who has horses, pigs and goats (not sure if she
has cows). I purchased Moda's, Oink A Doodle Moo panel in red and then used my
own fabric scraps for the rest of the quilt top.
After I received the panel in the
mail, I decided I did not like the red chicken wire print around the panels. It
looked too boyish, so I cut off the red and added thin pink borders and wider
white borders.....
I cut my scrap pieces at 5" in
length and varying widths. The white strips are 3 inches wide. The finished
quilt is 45" squared.
I used straight line quilting for
this project. For the 45" width, that came to 150 straight lines. I used the
edge of the walking foot as my guide.
For the backing I used Riley
Blake's, Hello Sunshine Birds in red. I thought it was the perfect choice for
the backing to go along with the animals on the front and match all the colors
of the scraps. It also looks like a paisley print from a distance.
I love the straight line
quilting...........look at all those rows!
For the binding, I used Riley
Blake's, Hello Sunshine stripe in multi color.
I love it!!! I had the same panel and cut them apart to make tag along quilts, with ribbons on all sides. I think I will have to get another panel and make a quilt like your's:)
I loved Oink A Doodle Moo! I made a toddler quilt from a layer cake of the collection. So much fun! I love how you used it. This is a very happy quilt, and the backing fabric is perfect. I've never seen it before, but will keep an eye out now :)
This is adorable! And I love straight line quilting too. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that Panel! You picked all the right scraps to bring it to life!
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful bright and cheery! Love it. You're so talented.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you got rid of the chicken wire! It looks great - so sweet and cheerful.
