inspired by this quilt back
I finally got this quilt off to my brand new niece (i gave you a sneak peak here), so I can now show it in all it's glory. I like the quilt itself, but I just love the color combination which was inspired by a quilt seen here.
my husband tells me that this quilt looks like picture frames, so that will be it's name. i took my sewing machine pedal to the shop, and they fixed it in 5 minutes--no big deal. i was happy.
this quilt was started forever ago (seems like it, anyway). my sisters and i did a fabric swap last summer and i finally got a quilt made out of it. i'm really liking it. 
i'm not in love with the back (particularly the daisy print), but i am happy that i used that huge piece of fabric up and it's no longer sitting on the shelf for me to wonder what i will ever use it for.
yesterday i vacumned up my foot pedal cord--so frustrating. i won't be sewing for a while. hopefully the cord can be replaced, and not the entire foot, they can be pretty spendy.
I finished up my spiderweb quilt, and definitely think it looks a lot more like wagon wheels than spiderwebs.
I used the tutorial found here, with some slight modifications...It's made up of 16 blocks, but I didn't 'spiderweb' each block all the way. I wanted the wagon wheels to all be complete, so I omitted some of the piecing, I also didn't paper piece (not a fan of picking off the paper--I guess I am lazy, I would rather be doing something else).
One of my all time favorite prints on the back, happy campers by heather ross.
I didn't expect to love the binding as much as I do, but I found this really great red polka dot, and I think it just makes the quilt!
I'm nearly 31 weeks, and this will definitely be for our baby girl who's due to come in October. 
this is a custom made quilt, with a request for lots of mushrooms!
my favorite part might just be the backing, originally i was going to put more mushrooms, but then i stumbled on this 3 little pigs print from sew deerly loved on etsy. i really, really like it.
i'm thinking these look more like wagon wheels than spiderwebs...this will probably be for our new baby, i don't think i want to give it away.
is it really july 30th already? it has been a busy month for us, so not much sewing going on. i did manage to finish up this quilt top, and hope to get it quilted before too long...
