I have been so very very very very very slack in posting finished quilts this year… so I am going to spend the next couple of weeks playing catch up, just so you can see what I have been up to…. starting with this quilt…
This was a little baby quilt I made using a ton of half square triangles and lots of Lizzy House fabric. You can find details of the block I used on my original post…
I struggled to get a good photo of this quilt, but the stark lighting really highlighted the fabulous quilting that my friend and fellow Modern Domestic collegue, Michelle did.
The colours and prints are fun and bright and the there is just so many things to see in it – from ghosts to ducks to dinosaurs. I love Lizzy House’s fabrics as they make every quilt you use them in just perfect.
The finished quilt has already been dispatched to the local Pediatric ICU and hopefully is doing the job of providing some comfort.
Quilt Details:
Block: 10 1/2 inch Octagon block
Fabric: Lizzy House fabric lines (Natural History, Catnap, Castle Peeps, Lovely Hunt. 1001 Peeps, Pearl Bracelets & Whisper)
Finished quilt size: 42 x 52 1/2 inches
I have no doubt it’s bringing a smile to someone’s face as well as comfort. What a pretty little quilt!
Thanks Wendy.
Absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks Linda. I just wish I got better photos of it.🙁
Lovely explosion of colors. Going to try this with my 1930’s prints…
Oh I love the idea of using 1930 reproductions with this pattern. I may have to borrow your idea.
What a beauty this quilt is and your kindness in donating it to a family in need is so awesome! It just warms hearts knowing that your creation is wrapping a sweet baby who may be struggling. Blessings to you!
Thanks Kathy. It is strange to send a quilt out into the world not knowing where it ends up…but i know it is helping so that is some consolation
Love it! Great use of 1/2 square triangles. Very colorful and fun.
I had a pile of half square triangles and needed a pattern to make. I love this one and will definitely make another one.
Just my cup of tea! All that gorgeous color must be bringing someone some cheer. Well done.
Thank you.
I love this one 🙂 Fun look, plus personal bias – it’s a color scheme (rainbow!) I gravitate toward myself.
Rainbow is the best colour scheme ever…in my humble opinion.
It’s a little beauty! A simple pattern, but made perfect by those wonderful, vivid fabrics. Somewhere, a baby is smiling in its sleep…
Very cute little quilt xx
Adorable…love the colors! No doubt will be greatly appreciated and loved by it’s new recipient.
So very glad you posted. I think of you so often and the very lovely work you do. One day I’ll grow up to be you and make such wonderful colors to fill the world with love.
Ah shucks thank you so much. I do really love what I do.
Beautiful star lattice quilt.
It isn’t always easy getting good pictures of quilts! This little one is adorable!! Love all those HST’s and how colorful it is!
This is such a cheery and fun quilt! Very generous of you to donate it!
Very lovely, bright and colorful quilt. Just perfect for its use. I am sure it will be loved.
I love the scrappy look! So precious!
