Audrina's quilt

Here's baby's quilt I made for my sweet niece Audrina. She is due to come home any day now. My sister said she is going to be girly girl and that it had to be pink. It's more salmon than pink but definitely girly. I used the same Mod Circle pattern and Ta Dot for the leaf pattern.







The back inspired me to make another quilt, maybe a Kate Spade ( brown/white/pink orange!) insipred quilt or Mosimo type colored zig zags. Will follow up.

 


The heart is tell her how much I love her and hope she come home soon (born 1/21/12 at 24 weeks). I think I will add a prayer in her quilt label.



Habitat Challenge Quilt in Mod Circles

 Dallas Modern Quilt had a challenge sponsored with Habitat fabric by Jay McCarroll. I used an awesome pattern created by Lindsey Rhodes of LRstitched you can find here . The Moda Bakeshop featured  Mod Circles quilt is a wonderful way to use the  tiniest pieces (templates included in tutorial). It's 11:23pm, other wise I would have photographed this baby outside, however it's raining and gray skies in Dallas for at least a day.(Ignore the baby milk stained ottoman!)

 I hand quilted the petals inside the circle, something I have not done for a while. The rest is meandered using long side to side (pictured sideways...woops). The brown is a Bella solid, solids were the only fabric we could have used. Some used Bella Stone, white and grays.I chose brown to bring out the earthiness of the fabric collection, and the binding in Kona Pomegranite gives it the punch I was aiming for. Next time I plan to hand turn the petals in to see if i like the no raw edge better. But yes, I will be making another one of these!

 The back has some stacked coins to use up more of the challenge fabric.

 I hope Lindsey is proud. Happy sewing!
