I started this quilt with my Mom back in August….when the owner of those little feet up there couldn’t talk back yet.
The chevrons are all cross weave solids, while the backgrounds are a big mix of prints. Together the prints don’t go together at all…but the solids somehow unify all of it.
The inspiration came from this magazine:
That one is lovely and hand quilted (I think)…but mine will probably get the loopty-loop free motion treatment sometime this weekend.

I really like this quilt. I am a typical quilter. I could easily see myself digging through scraps tonight when there are already 4 other projects on my cutting table!

This reminds me of my grandma's retro 1960's quilts. I LOVE IT.
And like Suzan (first commenter) said, "I could easily see myself digging through scraps [this weekend] there are already 4 other projects on my cutting table!"
Donna
Puppy wants one, too! Love the mix of prints and solids.

So pretty! I love how it just takes scraps. Did you say that you are going to quilt that by hand?

Deb
impossible to see from picture, but what magazine is this? (you musta known someone would ask....!!!) hope i have it sitting on my shelf!! great quilt!!
Gabriella
Love your chevron Quilt.
Can I ask a question for you?
I'm using the batting I think that you have put in your top and I have a Bernina .... question .... when you make straight line put a particular tension on your machine?
Unfortunately my back is a bit horrible at this moment .... many crunkles ... and I don't understand what is wrong!!!!
Thanks
themissymom
Very pretty. Scrap quilts are always my favorites.
I am partial, however, to the cute little feet, even if they are now connected to a saucy little mouth!

You truely are amazing...how do you do it all...kids, a very cute puppy, pattern business, wife, etc...you inspire me. I work at a quilt shop and we sell a large amount of your patterns. I also teach at the shop and a lot of my students make quilts from your patterns...they are a hit. I would love to be able to sit down with you and have you tell your experience with Quilt Market...i would love to one day have a booth, but i don't even know where to begin the process. Any tips you have would be a help. Happy Sewing. PS LOVE the Chevron quilt.
Alicia
cute doggie, too!

I love your work. I just started a blog and did a post about quilting and sited this blog!

I am smitten with chevrons right now too. I don't quite know why, but I can't stop. Even my blog is flanked with yellow chevron. I think I would do a big ol' chevron wall in my house if I could. Hmm...now, that's an idea worth noodling on. I wonder if you could modpodge fabric chevron on a wall? I digress.
Back to the point...I'm about to dive in to make your sweet baby quilt tutorial with some Darla by Tanya Whelan. I can't wait to see the finished product! Keep up the great work, Amy!

You "slay" me - in a really good way! Just gorgeous work! And that little pup is the most A-DORABLE thing I have ever seen!
Mrs Yoastie
Cute baby feet but the puppy is gorgeous.
Oh forgot to say like the quilt too.
Emily {Creative Chicks}
I love scrap quilts! And I love that this one doesn't scream "100 designer fabrics in one quilt." Not that I don't love designer fabrics, it's just refreshing to see a little different look.
Charlotte
Oooh chevrons are so pretty in scraps, love this

Ooh I love this!!
