This quilt is for my sister. She's having her first baby girl, so I wanted to do something special for her. I really really love how it turned out. Seriously. If this quilt wasn't for her, I would have a hard time giving it away. It's probably in my top three faves. She chose the grey/navy/yellow color scheme and I took it from there.
It was fun doing a palate so traditionally masculine, but keeping it feminine with all the floral, girly prints.
I think the quilting really kept it simple and soft. Aren't these prints so fun? There's a bit of a safari theme going on, not on purpose though. Tip: I always like to wash my quilts before I send them off because it really changes the look of them. I like the rumpled, worn look.
First attempt at bias binding and rounded corners. Won't be the last. I loved not turning corners.
Off to your new home in Montana!
It's beautiful!
