More blocks for my latest quilt.

I am really enjoying this process, very time consuming but that is taking me hopefully to a lovely outcome.

I am thinking I will put a white 1 1/2 inch between each block.  But I have some thinking time yet as the process is ongoing. 

Some of the fabrics used in these blocks and upcoming blocks are Kona Solids in the skinny strips, 

'This 'n' That' Strip Roll from Nancy Halvorsen for Benartex and a Dottie Charm Pack from Moda all from www.fabric.com 

I loved also using a layer cake for some of the darker hues from Joel Dewberry for Free Spirit called Bungalow. And you will notice 'Bee my Honey bee' by Mary Jane for Moda. 

Oh and More of this and That, by Nancy Halvorsen which I found at Missouri Quilting company. 

Plus bits and pieces from my stash. 

Still Catching up Rabbits on Scooters

Just finished last week a lovely little quilt using the herringbone pattern from The Missouri Quilt Co also using fabrics from their huge range as well.  I used Kona Blue Bell and Kona white. For the backing I used Andover Rabbits on Scooters, love love this fabric.

The way this pattern works is wonderful, I am sure it is something I would not have put together without the help of Jenny Doan at Missouri Quilts and her tutorials.  I enjoyed making it putting the pieces together was a breeze and it looks so much like a herringbone.

I wanted a pattern that would suit a little boy, he is around two months old now and I did not want to resort to the usual trains and cars. 

So to find this lovely Blue Kona was a flash moment for me, I knew it would be just right. It is so soft as well, I used cotton batting and quilted with a meandering line. I am sure the new Mum liked the quilt when I gave it to her, also I am hoping it will be useful for many years to come. 

I decided to bind it in White, this is a first for me I have never used white for a binding before. I just could not think of what would sit well with the blue and white although there were a few options for the Rabbit fabric.
