Emily's Quilt

I finally finished sewing on the binding to Emily's quilt.  I don't know why it took me so long...but it did.  Apple picking is in full swing around here so we went to the apple orchard down the road from our house to take some pictures.  The pattern I used was Shortcake by Cluck Cluck Sew and the fabric is from Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow collection.  It's a twin size quilt (64x88) just perfect for her bed:)


 
For backing I used dogwood bloom in berry from the same modern meadow line:

For quilting, I did wavy lines in different directions.  On the nine patch squares I quilted vertical wavy lines and for the other squares, I quilted horizontal wavy lines.  I wasn't sure at first how it would look, but I love the way it turned out.
 
And here's the proud new owner:

    Awww! That is such a sweet quilt... Fit for such a sweet Emily! Love the soft colours, great design, and the quilting is just what the quilt doctor ordered. Great pictures! I was wondering what was in the crates. When you said apples, I thought, "Okay." But that last shot is the icing on the cake!
