Finally a Finsh - Quick Baby Quilt


Well the pieced top went together in no time. This Strip and Flip design by Cluck Cluck sew really is a very quick quilt top to put together.  I bought gorgeous purple Moda fabric for the backing, basted it and then procrastinated on the quilting.

I originally had in mind a swirly pattern but then changed my mind to straight line quilting. When I first decided to make this quilt from the tutorial on Cluck cluck sew I had friends in mind expecting in the summer but as I was piecing it I was thinking of a different friend the whole time. So maybe that change of mind influenced the finish. I am very pleased with it and just happy to finally have a finish under my belt!

If only the Irish weather would co-operate I'd have better photos.  Supposedly going to be good this weekend.  Here's hoping.

    I love this! It's such a simple design, yet so eye catching. Great job on the quilting. I like how you changed up the quilting in the reversed strip.

    I love this. The big punch this quilt is wonderful. I think I am going to try one and I have NEVER done straight stitch quilting and it is on my list of things to learn this summer. Thanks for the inspiration!

    What a terrific quilt! The colors are beautiful and I like your quilting. I'm a fan of straight line quilting, sometimes it's the best for a quilt. I'm going to have to look into this pattern for some charity quilts I'm planning on making.
