My first Finish up Friday of 2014! Alice in Woodsy-land!
This has now made it's way across the country to its new home in Calgary, I can fully reveal it to all of you! I blogged about it here already. As I've said before, I don't normally go for cutesy prints, but this one called to me. Knowing that little Miss Alice's nursery is decorated with animals gave me a little push!It's quilted in lime green, orange, blue, and brown to match the Konas (Chartreuse, Kumquat, Capri, and Bison if you're marking your score card!) I can't really decide which of the animals I like best, but the hedgehog is definitely in the running!
Now that my machine's back in working order, I can do fun little things like this!
And this!
More straight line quilting. Not super original on my part, but I wanted to break up the print blocks and emphasize the fussy cut animals.
I even bought enough of the print to do the back... none left on that bolt!
I especially love the scrappy binding - more Kona, of course!
Here's hoping Miss Alice and her parents like it as much as I do!

P.S. Please excuse the lighting in some of these pics. Though I did go outdoors, it was a grey Nova Scotian day!
Great job!!
ReplyDeleteperfect marriage between cutesy and modern. Love the design you chose. well done!
ReplyDeleteThat scrappy binding is perfect for the quilt. It's a beautiful quilt for a little one to grow up with.
ReplyDeleteI love the fussy cutting - it works so well for this lovely print. The quilting does a great job of complementing the quilt..
ReplyDeleteOh that is very cool! And thanks for reminding me that I can use my machine to stitch words too!! (It's a new machine with more features than I know what to do with!)
