Baby quilt top is done – 2018.07.03

I’ve been working on this baby quilt off and on since the beginning of May.  Towards the end of May, I was at this point.

Then it sat untouched on my design wall until a few days ago, while I worked on other projects that had firm deadlines.

I spent the last couple of days making more striped blocks, and now the top is totally pieced.  It’s about 42 x 44 inches.  I love the combination of pink, purple, orange and yellow with neutrals, and the scrappy, improv look.

The words are created with a technique taught by Felicity Ronaghan (felicityquilts.com) at a recent Improv Letters Workshop.

I’m going to back it with pink fleece, and I’ll quilt it with straight lines – most likely diagonal lines, like I did with this baby quilt.  My goal is to have it finished so I can show it at the July Vancouver MQG meeting.
