Hi! Welcome to Day 5 on the Quilter’s Newsletter’s Best Kids Quilts 2015 blog tour! Have you been having a great week seeing all the fun quilts? The issue is just jam packed with great quilts and other fun projects.
I have been meaning to design a kids quilt for years. But as my kids are grown, I really did not have a good reason to make one. But the idea has been brewing…
Then came the Best Kids Quilt magazine and I jumped at the chance to play with my design. And they liked it! Woo hoo!
My quilt, ABC, 123 can be found on page 8. Isn’t it cute?
I wanted the quilt to have a mixture of appliqué and piecing. Originally I was going to piece the letters and numbers but I decided against it. To be honest, quick fusible appliqué is so, well, it is so quick!
And fun!
I love to machine stitch around appliqué. I also like hand stitching, but I don’t often have time for that.
I debated the fabrics for this quilt and finally decided to go with a primary color scheme. And the Summer Celebration line from Riley Blake was just so perfect. I love it!
Any of the blocks in the quilt would make a great pillow to coordinate with the quilt. Don’t you agree?
So, now onto the prizes! Just leave a comment and you will be entered into a drawing for 1 of 2 fabric packs!
These fabrics are from the Wild Things line from Northcott and they are just so cute! I think they would look great in the ABC quilt, don’t you? So leave a comment and maybe you can win a stack of these fun fabrics. Contest will remain open until Sunday night, May 10th at 9pm my time (mountain time). Giveaway is now closed!
Have you visited the other designers? There is still time to get in on their contests as well.
Have fun!
Happy quilting,
Kate
