Girlie
38'' by 38''
Just a simple, pretty, girlie quilt.
It started as an improv block, waiting for a home and some inspiration. I sent it off to a guild member for the next go at a round robin. She asked if I wanted to keep it all black and white or if I wanted any specific colour. I gave her free reign, waiting for the surprise at the end. Once everyone else did their thing. Can't say I imagined baby pink!
When it came back to me I decided I couldn't let it linger - I'm all about finishing these days! I went back and forth on some options and this is where I landed. I basted it and then it sat... One quiet Saturday with no kids in the house it got quilted. A basic stipple in Aurifil 50wt in white took me an hour. So, why did I wait so long?
But now it is done, bound in a sunny yellow for contrast and to coordinate with the backing. It sits packed by the door, ready to send off to a cousin and his adorable baby girl.
Not before my baby girl snuck in for a snuggle and photo op!

So cute and I'm usually not a fan of baby pink.
Love this!
I've never considered combining baby pink with black and white. It looks great! That is really a unique and fun quilt. And your backing and binding really set it off.

Very cute combo that when just talked about doesn't seem so ...
That is just a lovely quilt! Well done!
