I’ve got another quilt finish under my belt! Another baby quilt, I’m swimming in babies over here but I don’t mind. They’re fast and easy quilts to make, and everyone loves getting them.
This time I bought a log cabin quilt kit with 1930s reproduction fabrics from Maywood Studios. It was really great because it was mostly pre-cut, too. All I had to do was assemble! I haven’t quilted much since my husband died and having an easy way to get back into quilting really helped. The finished size was a little small for my liking, so I added a border and cornerstone pieces with fabric from my stash. I’m pretty pleased with how well they match the kit fabric.
The quilt itself measures 41″x33″ and I quilted an allover stipple with white thread on top and pastel variegated on the back. For the back of the quilt I used various pieces from my stash; the quilt is for a little girl so I wanted to add some more pink to the mix. And I was happy to thin out my stash a little!
Here’s some progress shots from my Instagram feed. Follow me @erinmakeitsew if you’re not already!:
Thanks for stopping by! I’m linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish It Up Friday.
Hi I found your blog from Crazymomquilts and just started reading. I am so sorry to read about your late husband. You have such a beautiful son who is similar in age to my second son. I cannot imagine what you go through every day but I just wanted to write to say that I wish you and your baby the very, very best x
Thank you so much and thanks for stopping by ❤️
I also found you through Crazy Mom quilts and wanted to wish you well. I can’t imagine losing my spouse so young. Praying that quilting will give you some peace.
Thank you, quilting definitely helps take my mind off of everything and makes me focus on the task at hand.
