I have had this quilt top in pieces on my design wall for what feels like eons, and it feels great to finally turn it into a quilt top, and not just any quilt top, but one for Baby Girl! Aside from a few receiving blankets and burp clothes, and my granny square quilt I've had tucked away for this "hopefully sometime" baby, this is the first quilty sewing I've done for our little lady, and it just makes me smile thinking of all that baby girl cuteness playing on quilts that mama made for her :-)

As soon as we found out we were having a girl, I knew I wanted to make her a quilt using this Joel Dewberry Notting Hill fabric in the magenta color way. All of those pinks and oranges just scream girly girl to me. I went with a half square triangle layout using print on print HSTs and print paired with white HSTs for this fun zig zag quilt. I love that the print zig zags are wider than the white, and these prints play so well together that they all sort of blend together into one when looking from afar.

I am thinking I want to back this in fleece, as I love how soft and cuddly my Scrappy Trip Along quilt is. I may put this aside for a little while though, as the thought of doing anything with fleece while we are having temperatures in the 90s every day this week makes me cringe (and sweat) just a little, although perhaps I should get to basting while I can!

Beautiful! I love how you added the dimension of the additional HST in the middle of the chevron print.
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm I love it! nice job.
ReplyDeleteI love it! And congrats!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And I agree about the temps... it's time for some english paper piecing - nothing in my lap!
ReplyDeleteYou have made such a beautiful quilt Jess! The thinner white really helps to accentuate the pretty print!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I do love the wider print stripe - it really adds to the quilt and makes it a little different to a lot of the other chevron quilts I've seen around. The colours are so fun and I think it would be lovely all fleece-backed and snuggly!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Great colors and beautiful work. I'm not sewing in this heat either...too toasty. =(
ReplyDeletelove this quilt! I love the colors, and I love that the zigs are larger than most chevrons I see. your sweet little one will treasure it as she grows, I'm sure!
