My entry is this baby quilt that my sis and brother in law commissioned for their new nephew. They gave me completely free rein but asked that it reflected them. Well as brother in law is a DJ and sound engineer then I immediately knew it had to be music based so I give you SoundWaves
It measures 30" by 40"
I backed it with flannelette as I'm taking it back to England next week to hand over to my sis and its the start of winter over there so I wanted it to be cosy
I was channeling Dan Rouse for this quilt, I love his unicorn stencil quilt and so I thought I'd go down the reverse appliqué route. I did a layer of HSTs, 2" finished
And then covered them with this lovely bright red. I fmq'd my design over the top and then started cutting away the red to reveal the HSTs
Hopefully it will last long past the baby years!
I will leave you with a few other recent makes in the hope of tempting you back when you've finished checking out all the other quilts
And if like me you like a piped edging then head back next week for a piping tutorial x
