I found a picture of this quilt through a quilting newsletter and shared it with my friend Carmen. When she exclaimed over how much she liked it I knew I had to make her one. She had the idea of changing out some of the solids for prints, which I liked. So I bought the pre-cut set and switched out a few of the triangles for prints.
The pictures are not the best, it was snowy as you can see! But I wanted to get it in the mail, so I just had Bj hold it up in the cloudy weather (obviously I finished this a while ago, but am just now getting around to blogging it).
My mother in law had the idea to use this sweet ombre fabric for the anchor.
It’s been a while since I did all over quilting on my home machine, so I was a little rusty. But I really like how it looks. I used a green binding, with this little bit of plaid thrown in.
The back is all this material (sorry I don’t remember what it is).
All in all a fun easy quilt, that I was happy to gift to my friend. I have a goal of finishing up more quilts and randomly gifting them. Maybe with this hot weather I should just hid out in my basement and sew!
AHHHH. This is incredible!!! Lucky friend! 🙂
That’s really cute–I love the colors
So pretty! I know your friend is going to love it!!
Love the colors! The anchor is fabulous! Who is receiving this wonderful quilt?
We LOVE this quilt! It gets used all the time, for movie nights, indoor picnics, keeping cozy on the couch, making forts! I keep it out downstairs so it makes an appearance at least once a day! Thank you very very much!
