well I got this semi-crazy idea last fall to make a quilt for ashley after a discussion on the modern quilt.
yeah, an actual crazy idea.
the prospect of a holiday present turned into a birthday (february) present. and then into a belated birthday present. I think it was may when i finally finished.
so. yes. a subway tile-ish quilt. I cut all the 'squares' to 6.5 x 9.5. It was a hodpodge of grays pinks, and yellows, with some of her postcards printed onto white fabric.
I then played around (a lot) with layout and worked in strips, sewing the pieces together as so:
and then connecting them with smaller strips of grey, and staggering:
that was the hard part. then i pinned it to a grey sheet, with a blanket in between. oh and yeah, this is an easy quilt, not some actual fancy thing.
I sewed it up most of the way and trimmed the edges before flipping it right-side out and finishing the edge.
ta-da!
yeah, it's a little crooked on one side, get over it.
not bad for a first easy-quilt-attempt.
xoxo
