Sweet Baby Stripes.
Posted on | October 18, 2016 | 10 Comments
No co-operation from the weather today so some of the photos are a little dull. But they still show how the quilt looks.
It does look very sad and sorry in this photo. Hopefully the close ups give a better impression.
This quilt is made with two and a half inch strips. Most are from a jelly roll I used in another quilt. I added white strips to give some contrast.
The colours are lovely baby pastel shades mixed in with some brights.
I used a serpentine stitch for the quilting.
I love the fabric on the back. Couldn’t resist it when I saw it.
It is a very soft flannel with super cute giraffes.
This pic probably gives a better idea of the quilting.
I found a lovely stripe for the binding that matched the quilt colours.
I managed to sandwich four quilts last week as planned and this one was the smallest. So I still have 3 more to quilt.
Good thing it is raining outside so I can stay in and sew.
I hope you have a good excuse to stay in and sew, also.
Cheers, Karen

I love everything about this quilt , the simplicity, the colours, the sweet backing and the serpentine quilting adds a wonderful texture.
What a darling quilt! I don’t know what’s best–the colors, the stitch, the backing, the binding–they all work beautifully together. My excuse to stay in and sew? I have laryngitis and don’t want to spread it around. So everyone else is outside enjoying fabulous weather (and avoiding my virus) while I’m cozily enjoying the quiet.
It looks like a perfect baby quilt to me. Flannel makes such a cozy backing and that one is such a great match to the front.
what a sweet quilt and the wiggly quilting is perfect. That backing is just right for a quilt I want to do – where was it from?

All very pretty Karen- the strips, the quilting, the soft flannelette backing and the bright green binding! The weather was not very co-operative for photos yesterday, was it? Gosh, it got cold last night! I am OVER this weather!

Very cute, Karen! I love the way you quilted it, and I love the flannel backing. So cozy.

Sweet little baby strip quilt. The serpentine stitch looks wonderful on it. What a fun peek at the background!
Now I have to go back and see what posts I’ve missed!

We can still see the lovely colours of the fabrics, they are groovy girl. So your weather is playing up again hey? It gives you a good reason to stay inside though lol. Here in the west, we’ve finally had some warm weather but you never know when it’s going to change. Happy sewing.
What a sweet baby quilt! Love the way you quilted it and used those beautiful pastels!
