Good day, Friends! I finally emerged (well, for a little bit), with my Joseph’s Pinwheels in tow! I managed to squeeze in a lunch with some dear girls, taxi-ing Baby Miss Baby (since she has just about lost her baby look) to her playdate, and spruced up a photo album with my fabric flower to give as a birthday gift.
I kept the quilting on this quilt rather simple because I did not want to take away the “neat and tidy” look of the quilt. You may not see it from the pictures, but I quilted along ALL the straight lines in that quilt – a bit of a tedious business.
Tip for quilting along ditches: you might consider doing all your can to keep your seams straight. It will make your quilting go a lot of faster and easier.
These are all the sneak peeks I can show you before the quilt is officially featured next year in one of Fons & Porter‘s magazines. In case you are wondering, the fabrics are from RJR‘s Supreme Cotton Solids and Crazy for Dots and Stripes collections.
I guess I shall submerge in my next quilt project for a little while… will have some sneak peeks for you next week, I hope! If not, you will have to come over and motivate me. :)
Wow – that didnt take you long!!
I just love polka dots…incredible quilt :-)
Once again, you have me drooling! Just love the polka dots. Now I’m thinking I should be able to find some of those around here! (:
This one really looks good Wendy!!
I love, love, love what I’ve seen of this quilt and am so inspired by your work! Can’t wait to see the whole thing.
Nice and simple. Like it :).
You know what’s funny? That kind of reminds me of the Sweet Blocks one I have to finish.
Great job.
Good job Wendy! It’s a cheerful, happy quilt. Just lovely!
It’s a beautiful quilt — those dots are just fabulous with the solids.
Looks great from here! I love the inspiration you provide.
Thanks!
This is one fantastic quilt! I love it! It just makes me smile to see it! I love the solid & dot stars, and your happy little bits of sashing. I don’t think it is possible for it to be any better! Thank you so much for sharing it! How wonderful that it will be published! You must be so happy and excited! I’ll look forward to seeing it in print.
What a bright, cheery quilt. My inability to make very straight stitches in one thing that keeps me from quilting.
I really like that quilt and the simple quilting really adds to it. Any more and it would have been too much. Good choice Wendy. Can’t wait to see this one in the magazine.
That’s a hit right on the dot, Wendy! …now I’ll go see what I can do with my spots.
Very cool! I’m eager to see the entire quilt. :-)
This looks like a fabulous quilt Wendy, I love the dots!
this is so lovely
Such a fun, happy looking quilt! Love the polka dots!
Love the bright colors with the black and white. And I always LOVE polka dots. I’m a terrible stitch in the ditch-er, that’s why I just did straight(ish) lines on my baby quilt on either side of the seam. :)
I’m loving the look of this quilt! I really like the bright colors mixed with black and white.
Love the colors! Stopping over from Sew & Tell. Happy Sewing! :)
