Simple quilts are my favorite. I stumbled upon this Raspberry Kiss block ages ago. If you're looking for a pretty simple block, this one is great. I did a little color play with this one, graduating from dark to light.
Walmart backing again. Shhh, don't tell my hard-core quilting friends.
I have been hoarding this Tiger Lily fabric for ages. Can Heather Ross do anything wrong? I think not.
I decided to keep it soft with some minimal ditch quilting.
Striped binding again. I made like 80 yards. I bound this quilt, then gave the rest away to my quilting friend for her birthday. Who doesn't love pre-made bias binding?
I put this quilt in my local County Fair and it got second in the baby quilts division (don't get too excited, it's a small county fair). After submitting entries for 8 years, the nice older lady judges are getting to know my style. I'm the only younger quilter to enter. They commented that they liked the mix of background whites on this one. They also commented that I forgot to wash off all my blue marking pen on the quilting lines. Oopsies.
This one was gifted to a dear friend who just had her first baby girl. I figured a pink explosion quilt would be a great way to break her into the world of little girls. With three of my own, I'm a bit of an expert.
