it's been the year of the baby in my family, and i think this is the last one for a while. my husband gave me this pattern (single girl by denyse schmidt) for christmas, and i thought a baby quilt would be the perfect way to try it out. can i just say that i LOVE this quilt. it might be my favorite.
i have been in a green/grey mood lately, and i am still not sick of it. it also helps that my high school colors were green and grey, so it's a nostalgic color combo for me.
hope my new nephew (who's coming even as i type this) enjoys it.i'm also trying to step out of my stippling comfort zone, i quilted this in lines about 3/4 of an inch apart--i am so pleased with the result.
***updated: grey is kona coal. on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being hard), i'd give this a 6. not too hard, not easy. it's somewhat time consuming, but different than quilts I normally make so it kept me interested.
This is absolutely fantastic!! I love the pattern. What's it called? Who designed it? WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteit's so good!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that color combo, green and gray, how fun is that..
ReplyDeleteLove the dark gray.... what a nice modern baby quilt....
ReplyDeleteThis is Be-YOUUUUUUUUUUUU-TIFUL!! I am loving the gray as well and I am itching to try it out in a project!! Love it! If your nephew doesn't like it, you can send it my way.. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe colours are just gorgeous! And I love how you quilted this! Beautifully done :)
ReplyDeleteDelicious Nettie!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my fav's from you!!! :)
XO, Heather
LOVE it! gray/green is such a great combo - i can see why you're not sick of it. wonderful job on the quilting too!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous - My pattern is still in it's little plastic sleeve waiting to be used. Maybe i should try a baby quilt so I don't overwhelm myself. I love the quilting and the grey background - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteUm, this looks SO DARN COOL!!!! I wish it was coming to my house! Fabulous job! :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous quilt!! Love the green and gray
ReplyDeleteI l-o-v-e it ! **squeal** I have been admiring that pattern for awhile now - but have been scared to try it - was it difficult?
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool pattern! Looks like a great way to use up some scraps too. Loving that green/grey combo as well.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the quilting. And the colours. What fabric did you use for the grey?
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. I love gray and green too. It's the best combination.
ReplyDeleteI Love this quilt! Very cute! I'm not so much a green and gray person but this quilt is adorable with those colors!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a quilt like this before...It is amazing!
ReplyDeleteMicki
Beautiful quilt. Beautiful color combination. Yes, name of the gray fabric, please?
ReplyDeleteReally really beautiful! I love the colors and you're right the quilting is GREAT! I feel the same about stippling - trying to stretch a bit. Anyhow - love the quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Nettie! Did the straight lines take a ton of time? It looks great!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous quilt....i love your quilts.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!!! I love those colors, too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Perfect for snuggling a baby boy in :-)

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the quilting on it too. That must have been a lot of work. I'm making a double wedding ring quilt which is the same principle and it's taking me forever.
ReplyDeleteAmazing quilt! I love the colors and I LOVE the name olives!
ReplyDeleteI *heart* everything about this quilt! (except that it is not big enough to be for me!) Love it.
ReplyDeletenice quilt!
ReplyDeletelove the colors and the quilting is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteOh, I have just been waiting to see someone finish this quilt. I have it cut out for a queen size with Denyse Schmidts Hope Valley. Any great tips you have to share by chance? I LOVE the way you quilted it too! (iliketoquilt@hotmail.com)

ReplyDeleteso gorgeous!!
It's beautiful!
ReplyDeletegorgeous! What a lucky young man!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this quilt! Grey and green is a favourite colour combo of mine too. I have been thinking about quilting my WIP quilt in straight lines like this, seeing yours has cemented it. LOVE
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm also a big fan of green and grey!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe charcoal with the brights is striking. It's like the first bits of spring poking through late winter.
ReplyDeleteI think this quilt looks great, I also really like the color combo.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!! This happens to be one of my favorite patterns, and I just adore the color combo you chose for it. I am sure it will be very loved!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! And lucky you on the high school colors. Ours were orange, brown and gold - not a combo I'm likely to quilt anytime soon!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this quilt, too! I never would've thought to use gray and green together~ they look awesome and happy together!

ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! The greens are looking so pretty against the grey :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute quilt! I'm picturing Matchbox cars driving around those circles in about three years...
ReplyDeleteIs this quilt really hard to make? I am tempted to try it! Blue is Bleu has the pattern for sale, but I don't know if it would be way too hard...

I love the colors and the quilting is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLooks absolutely great!! What colour of thread did you use for the quilting...this is a question I always struggle with! Do you use a colored thread or white?

It's a beautiful quilt - great colors, great design choice.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally into gray right now too. I've been throwing it in with everything.
