Let's Pretend Chevron

"Let's Pretend"  by Sarah Jane with pink chevrons and Kona pfd bleach white.

What's a little girl not to love about this print?  

free motion quilting straight lines isn't always the easiest.  I just marked them.

I love the old buildings along Geneva Road in Orem.

I got the idea for the quilt here, and used nettie's chevron instructions here, and got the idea for the pieced name from nettie also.

boat quilt - Blogger's Quilt Festival

We've had a boat quilt in our family for years.  It's been so loved that it's old, tattered, and incredibly soft.  As our kids have reached adult hood and moved out, the boat quilt has disappeared a few times, and I've had to go run it down.  

So I decided to make boat quilts for the grandkids.   I started making boat blocks from all my favorite scraps.

I've been saving this binding fabric for a special quilt.

quilt stats:

40" x 42"

block size 8 1/2"

fabric is scrappy

The nursery is all ready to go.  Now we're just waiting for a baby . . .
