Niece Sabrina Chevron Quilt
I made this Chevron quilt for my Niece Sabrina. I didn't post pictures before because it was a surprise for her. She recently moved to her new place, so I wanted to do something special for her. She asked for a Teal and Brown quilt. Well, as you know I don't work with darks, so I went out and bought these fabrics (now what to do with them) the Chevron worked out great. I strip pieced this one, it was great fun. She loved the quilt
Creative juices flowing
First of all, I had a wonderful Mother's Day. Our met for lunch, had a great time. Our eldest grandson came to lunch, with rose and card in hand. As, sweetest thing ever. Thanking my husband and I for being to special to him. I think he must be growing up. 21 now....good looking kid. All the grandkids are awesome.....
came home and che creative juices began to flow. I already had two of the squares done, but really got to rolling. This is the same pattern I made the "Yellow" quilt out of. Saw it in Atlanta last year at InTown Quilter, their's was a sample for a shop hop that they had. Anyway, I used some scrap fabric I had from a long ago unfinished project from Karen Stone called "Delirious". I put the teal/brown fabric up, just couldn't get anything going with those leftovers.....I tried....then I thought, I those chose left over fabrics would work, got them out and started cutting strips, wallah, success everything was so bright and cheery, LOVE IT. I really think this quilt coulde be made in a day if one could start at arund 5:30 and end at 5:30. I know everyone wouldn't want to sew that long, but I would. You know, when you get into that "creative flow" you just want to go for it.
This quilt came out darling, I think it's probably one of the cutiest baby quilt's I've ever made. I can see many more on the horizon. I think the brighter the fabric the better.
I still have to put the outside border on and quilt it....
