I had a couple charm packs of Little Red Riding Hood/Riley Blake/Tasha Noel fabrics. I put together a simple patchwork quilt.
I stepped out of my comfort zone and did an orange peel/cathedral window style quilting. I didn't mark it, I just went with it. I'm always afraid the markings won't come off...My lines are not all the same size. However, by the time I was done, I had it figured out pretty good for next time!
I used the main print in pink on the back, it's my favorite from this line :)
For the binding I used the red/white stripe, it almost gives this quilt a Christmasy feel.
You can see my quilting is far from perfect, but I'm happy I tried something new! It's the only way to learn, and FMQ is something I strive to conquer! I did use my walking foot on this, fyi.
It finished at 35.5 x 40.25 I believe. Because the quilting is less than perfect (I'm kind of a perfectionist, ha!)
I listed this in my Etsy store pretty cheap, with disclosure of course! Sold

Very sweet quilt! Love the binding!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks so good. What a fun quilting pattern. Your little label is neat.
ReplyDeleteIt looks cute! I was just looking at some leftover blue squares from that line, thinking I need to use them. I think I have someof the gray too, and could make a little boy quilt. Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThat is one pretty little quilt. Lovely combo.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of this little red line... Thank you for sharing! Lovely quilting!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I really like your fabric choices and the binding is just the perfect fun touch. Very daring on the orange peel - I haven't got up the nerve yet!!!
