friday finish goal:
My daughter-in-law just finished this darling chevron quilt. The pink came in fat quarters, so she just cut her fabric in the best way to get the most amount of HST, using this tutorial.
She came over today to learn how to make a raggy binding. We used 4 inch wide strips cut on the bias.
You can learn how to make a raggy binding from this post. It gives a baby quilt some fun texture, and is much faster than a regular hand sewn binding.
She quilted on each of the sides of the seam on her regular sewing machine.
Look how cute the back turned out! I'm so proud of her. She's only been quilting a year or two, and she figured all this out on her own.
time for a give away!
I have some patterns to give away from Carrie Nelson @ Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. I love to follow Carrie's blog, she's got a great dry sense of humor, and I can directly relate to her dog and elderly parent stories. She's got some fantastic patterns and books out. I've got 2 of her quilts currently in progress.
If you're interested in these patterns, leave me a comment telling me about your favorite pattern designer.

Congratulations to your DIL. Great job

ReplyDeleteSo cute~ I LOVE the raggedy binding! Thanks for sharing the tutorial, I have never seen that before, but can't wait to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt! I just finished a handbag pattern called Totally Trendy Tote 2.0 byAnnie's and a Cluck, Cluck, Sew pattern called Looking In quilt. Both are pictured on my blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, that pink chevron is CUTE!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I love the backing!
ReplyDeleteI really like the American Jane patterns. :)
That is so cute! The binding is such a fun finish!
ReplyDeleteAwww, the chevron quilt is so cute! I really like the patterns created by Camille Roskelly, easy to follow and shows the fabric off really well.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite books right now, and my fave designer too, I guess, are Kim Brackett's Scrap Basket books. I have all 3 and want to make most of the quilts in them. annesimonot@sasktel.net
ReplyDeleteCute quilt! I've never seen binding done like that before. How fun! I'm sure whoever gets this quilt will love playing with it. The backing is adorable.
ReplyDeleteFavorite quilt designer - Denyse Schmidt
Such a cute quilt! Thanks for the link to the tut.
ReplyDeleteLove her quilt, and especially after only quilting for one year!!! My favorite designer is usually whoever designed the quilt I'm currently working on!!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt your daughter-in-law made is really pretty. And the fabric she chose for the back is such fun.
ReplyDeleteI can't really say I have a favourite quilt designer. Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win.
Very cute quilt. I've never seen a raggy binding like that before. Thanks for sharing it. Current favorite quilt desigers for me are Bonnie Hunter and Kathleen Tracy. But I made my first Schnibbles quilt this month and am just becoming aquainted with those patterns. Would love to win one.
ReplyDeleteAdorable quilt! My next one is going to have the raggy binding on it! Great tutorial you did on that a while ago!
ReplyDeleteEven though I follow your blog, I keep popping in from my favorite linky parties! I don't think I have a favorite pattern designer although I am fond of Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts and Amy Lyncher at Pile O' Fabric. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a favorite designer yet as I've only been quilting for 6 months or so, but I would love to try out Carrie Nelson's Schnibbles patterns.
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by the raggy binding! I cannot say I have a favourite designer but I do really like Faith at Fresh Lemons.
ReplyDeleteI love the rangy binding, I will have try it. Lynne with Kansas Trouble Fabrics would be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute quilt! I love that ragged binding. I'm going to have to try that.
ReplyDeletelove the ragged binding and the Reunion fabric... you must have bought bolts! I like Kansas Troubles and Me and My Sister. I do have a couple of Miss Rosie books, but haven't tried anything yet, will definitely have to pull them out for a second look!
ReplyDeleteWhoop whoop for that adorable little quilt!! Your DIL did a great job!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pattern designer is probably Amanda Jean Nyberg (Crazy Mom Quilts). She comes up with great easy patterns that look fabulous and work up quickly - a must for our quilt ministry!
That is a really cute quilt. Love that backing fabric.
ReplyDeleteI really like Bonnie Hunter's quilts. I love the really scrappy look she produces.
Fun!! That quilt is adorable...love the colors! I don't know if I could pick just one designer....love the Buggy Barn Crazy patterns, working on some cute Sweetwater patterns right now and I really like Camille Roskelley too. I have a few "Rosie" books, but really like those patterns too.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing all your wedding goodies. We have one coming up in less than 3 months, so I can relate. I've been procrastinating!
