Another month has rolled around, and as an Island Batik Ambassador the challenge was a Modern crib quilt. Ooooh Modern, I love, I can do this. I had so many ideas rolling around in my head it was hard to settle on just one! But I finally did it. The design is settled on, the fabric is picked out. Get ready, set, go!
First things first, make strip sets with pretty colors! Then trim then into rectangles setting the strips on the diagonal.
Next add white sashings. Then a deep purple one so they stand out beautifully on the lavender background. And from there I forgot to take pic's of the other steps. This was truly build the quilt as I went. Meaning I did not have the sizes figured out ahead of time. So somewhat improvisational.
And before long it was pieced and the quilting done.
All the piecing was done using the Aurifil thread that was provided by them. The beautiful batiks were provided by Island Batik. And Hobbs provided the batting.
I tried some new designs inspired by Jodi Robinson's new book and her new ruler that I picked up at the MN quilt show last week.
