Blogger's Quilt Festival-Round 2

This is the second quilt I am entering in the Blogger's Quilt Festival.  I made this quilt for one of my daughters, Emily.  When I really got into quilting last year, she was the one always by my side asking for my scraps so I knew that she would be the first of my kids to get her own quilt.  So this is the quilt for her twin size bed:

 

Quilt stats:

Size: 64"x88"

Pattern: Shortcake by Cluck Cluck Sew

Fabric: Modern Meadow by Joel Dewberry

Finished: Sept. 2013

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:

Emily's Quilt Top

I finished sewing up Emily's quilt top this week. I used this pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew.  I thought I was never going to finish up those 9 patch squares but I did:)  I used the modern meadow line by Joel Dewberry.  Still love that one!  I think Emily will be excited when it's finally finished because whenever I'm sewing it, she always asks if it's done yet...almost there Emily!

 

 

I asked her which fabric she wanted for the backing and binding.  So happy she picked exactly what I was thinking...great minds think alike:)
