This quilt is for my niece D. Her three favorite colors are burgundy, yellow, and lime green. I don't really have burgundy fabric in my stash so I decided to make a yellow and green quilt. This is a two by four quilt. Here is the tutorial by Film in the Fridge. This is the second 2 x 4 quilt I have made and it is not the last. (I already have an orange and cream one made for me.)
I do things a little differently than her tutorial. I use one width of fabric strip per fabric and cut my pieces slightly bigger. My blocks finish at 9 by 10 inches. Here is my fabric pull.
The colors in the quilt look so much better close up.
My design wall is the perfect size for the lap quilts I enjoy making. Just ignore my shadow in the picture.
Here is the finished quilt top.
I quilted it on the Bernina Q24.
It is my second time quilting these offset wiggly lines. The first time I quilted them parallel to my bars. This time I quilted them perpendicular to the bars. It was so much easier this way.
The quilt is bound in a green polka dot fabric from my stash.
I took pictures of several quilts outside that day. I was able to deliver D’s quilt in person last week. She especially loved the minky on the back.

It's such a bright and happy quilt, and who wouldn't be excited about a minky backing (especially right now as it's cooling off for winter). I'm so glad you were able to deliver the quilt to D in person!
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics you chose for this quilt are so fun and bright. Every time I see that minky back I just want to squeeze it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What a great finish! I really like those colors together.
