Quilting done since Friday! Delivered to the 7 year little boy - he was more interested in playing with the two cats! But his mother was in love!
Here is, made in 3 days and washed twice (because Alex wanted to try it too).
I am in love now with simple fabrics, simple patterns and SIMPLE quilting.
Straight lines done with free motion - I did not struggle to keep the lines perfect straight or evenly spaced and I did not care about the lenght of the stitch. Any "mistake" is washed by water, especially if you use cotton batting.
Really, why someone would struggle to quilt fancy designs when these simple lines are so effective ?
Quilting went like a breeze - yet time consuming. It took me about 8 hours and the quilt is only 50'' x 60'' and I stitched on my speedy industrial machine. But it was so relaxing!
Can't wait to quilt the other 2 solid fabric tops!
Have a great crafty week!

I am in love with this quilt -- I love solids in quilts and I especially adore your gorgeous quilting. I can't wait to see the other quilt tops with solids you are making.
Lovely design and you have done such a wonderful job with the straight line quilting too
WOW, great quilted and love all the colours you use :-)
Have a great day.
Lovely. Love the "jumping" blocks and the turned on their sides squares. I am terrible at machine quilting and am taking your advice to heart about uneven stitches, although I thought if the stitches get too big they are easily pulled out so that's why they are best avoided....not true?
Beautiful design and quilting!
I came in from Modern Day Quilts. I love the design and the quilting. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll be back to visit again!
I love the design and the quilting is awesome.
