I didn’t get a lot of
quilting done this weekend, but I did put the final touches on this little
quilt a few minutes before the baby shower!
This is for a very special
girl, my daughter’s best friend, Somerset. She moved from Maine to South
Carolina so I had to make her a quilt to make sure the baby always knows how to
get back to Maine!
I love the backing fabric too. It reminded me of water.
The chart in the center is
printed on a nice quality white cotton. I wish I had bought all that they had
because she doesn’t make them anymore. I could print them on fabric, but these
were really well done. Always buy more than you need right?
Enjoy your day.
Sage advice, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteI love your reasoning for the center map. : )
Nicely done!
very nice wendy and it is a very good map!
ReplyDeleteSo unique, your friend will treasure this little quilt. And you're absolutely right, always buy a bit more than you think is needed!
ReplyDeleteLove that vibrant blue backing fabric you used.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice! What a wonderful quilt for a new baby. You used so many blues in your checkerboards. It will be treasured.
ReplyDeleteThe medallion center is so cute and this quilt will be a beautiful present for Somerset.
ReplyDeleteI always buy more too....sigh... :))))
great advice Wendy. What a sweet baby quilt. I love personal touches like the center piece! Pretty blue backing

ReplyDeleteSweet quilt - so unique and personal - and the backing is perfect. I love the name Somerset!
ReplyDeleteWendy, your quilt is very innovative, and the map is so interesting. What a perfect reminder of the beautiful oceans surrounding Maine.Both baby and parent will love it ! We really enjoyed reading about this project. Best wishes from Marina and Daryl
ReplyDeleteLoverly quilt, Wendy! I see the view of the Muscongus Bay each time I watch the osprey cam there! Wouldn't it be nice if someone printed more of those blue cyanotype images for us to use in our quilts! Love the antique ones we have seen!
ReplyDeleteSuch a darling and meaningful quilt! I'm sure it's going to be well loved.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool quilt!
