Tiny Tile Baby Quilt

Quick finish for a baby shower a couple weeks ago. I was too lazy to think, so I copied this one off Pinterest. Sometimes that's just easier, right? haha. This took me about three days, start to finish so I guess that's pretty easy!



This was a bit of a departure for me because I never ever use solids. Like ever. I found some great colors at shhhh...Walmart. Don't tell anyone I love the Waverly fabric there. And it's $3/yd so you can't get much better than that. And it's local, so if I get the itch to quilt I can scratch it pretty quick.

I love how the negative space quilting makes the blocks feel like they're on point. I chose soft baby pink thread for the quilting this time instead of my usual boring white. 


I know. Striped binding. I tried at least four other prints but I just kept going back to this one. It's perfect. 

I opted to hand sew the binding this time. It's therapeutic for me and I like to sit on the couch with my husband and watch something mindless on Netflix while I sew. It's nice. 


I'm finding that I'm drawn to simple quilts more and more. They're just so crisp looking. I love this one.
