Late Wedding Gift

 I finished Miranda (daughter) and Aldo's wedding quilt today.

 It measures 90 x 90 and has a backing made up of two twin size Ikea flat white sheets.

 The batting is an 80/20 cotton-poly blend and it has been washed and dried in a delicate cycle with a Shout Color Catcher sheet so the red didn't bleed onto the white.

I did a simple stipple quilting pattern because I felt like the fabric and cute pattern is the main focus of this quilt.  The binding is a gray print from the Ruby collection.  Of course Ruby is a fabric from the fabulous Bonnie and Camille.  This quilt is soft and cuddly and I know Miranda will love it.

X Marks the Spot!

 Monday evening I started the first block for this quilt.  I didn't have a pattern so I just improvised after reading a couple of tutorials for similar looking quilts.  I used 30 layer cake squares and 30 charm pack squares for the blocks.

 The fabric is "Strawberry Fields" by Fig Tree Quilts, designed by Joanna Figueroa.  The setting and corner triangles are "Fig Tree" cream.

 I cut each layer cake square into 4 five inch squares and then added the matching charm pack square for each X.

The inner border finished at 3 inches and the outer border will finish at 6 inches.

The quilt measures 83 x 95.  This is a perfect summer quilt, in fact it looks perfect for a picnic because of the gingham but alas that will never happen, we will not be eating on this quilt.
