This is one I made for a friend of mine. She had a baby she named Violet and so it had to be Violet.
As is my course, I am not original. I get all my ideas from somewhere. This is one I pinned and wanted to try with some changes.
A friend of mine did the embroidery.
You can go to this post and this post to see progress. I did learn some things about sewing strips to keep them from getting all skewed. I couldn't figure out why sewing straight strips wouldn't come out straight. It's all to do with pinning so the top fabric doesn't pull more than the bottom fabric. Ho,ho, now I know.
Here's Violet on her quilt.
And here's the quilt festival link. Stop by and enjoy all the quilts.
What a sweet quilt for such an adorable little princess!
ReplyDeleteAll art is derivative. You made this quilt your own, so don't sell yourself short. I love how it came out. I really love the yellow Fairy Frost and the pretty swirly quilting in it. Your appliqué is really pretty! What a sweet gift! And that little Violet is a darling girl!
