Baby quilt finished

8 years ago

You may remember I cut the white, then decided it was too bright for the batiks I had cut. So I dug out lots of blue scraps.

The quilt is 48” square, so I appliquéd and pieced the back. The strip is deliberately off center vertically. I wasn‘t clear with the long-armer, who didn’t center the back horizontally, so the whales weren’t equidistant from the ends. Hand-embroidered a label, and the problem was solved!

Our great nephew arrived three weeks early. So it’s done and washed and ready to mail.

That’s a beautiful quilt, Latifolia! And the back is so sweet. I can’t tell if the lightest color on the front is a pale blue or grey, but it works really well with the darker blues. Is that a specific pattern or just random placement. It’s great whichever. On second look, I see it’s a pattern. Which one, please?

The light color is arctic white. This photo may be better.

The pattern is off the cover of one of this summer’s quilting magazines. Sorry don’t recall the name, but they did it in white and little florals.

Beautiful. It looks bigger than 48" sq. Glad you thought of a way to fix the back. It's very pretty, too.
