    Coral

    Mar 14, 2013

    Coral Brights Quilt_thumb[1]
    After hanging on the wall for a week I decided to make my colorful mini-quilt into a quilt for Sophie.   My husband thought the 4 quilts she has are already enough.
    Psshhh….there is no such thing as enough quilts as long as we use all of them right?
    IMG_8195_thumb[4]
    I did an off center design so the borders are smaller on the top and right side.  I’ll put a bigger photo up with a quickie pattern in the next few days.
    I quilted it with flowers (so fun to do!) and it took a few tries to make my flowers look like flowers….and it turned out way better than expected.
    The backing and binding are from the Les Amis line for Michael Miller.

      Your quilted flowers look fabulous! Those are so much harder to do than you'd think just by looking at them. And I agree -- no such thing as too many quilts!

      Also, this quilt is just lovely. I like the wide border!

      I agree with everyone else-never enough quilts & certainly not too many! :) Besides, look at how Sophie admires it. Clearly she can't take her eyes off of it. :)

      It is beautiful, just like everything you make :) I love the Les Amis fabrics and have been stocking up on them, they are just so sweet. I actually just finished another modified-Scout quilt using the coral/peach ones.

      What a great quilt! It looks like half square triangles. Super Cute, and little girls never have enough blankets. Wait till she has all her dolls all over them and having tea parties. It will make them priceless!

      So beautiful! I agree - you can't have too many quilts if you are using them all (which includes rotating them from the cupboard!). On that basis, I think you can probably make another fifty? I love the rose cushion in the photos - do you have a tutorial? My house desperately needs some style. I need to concentrate on making things for myself...

      I agree... it's not possible to have too many quilts, especially when they are that darling! Thanks so much for the embroidery book " S is for Stitch" review. I too am an embroidery beginner and love the children's designs you showed. I need all the help I can get, so I think this will be a book for me!
