In February 2011 I finished piecing
Wild Thing
a quilt for my grand daughter.
And then with the move, the quilt top
was put away in a box.
Out of sight,
out of mind.
With my grand daughter's 3rd birthday
fast approaching,
I did some hunting through boxes
and found the top.
Pat Roche kindly helped me out
and did the machine quilting in just a few days.
I love the swirls she added,
which really make this
quilt pop.
This was such a fun quilt to work on.
Pattern: Wild Thing by Thimble Blossoms.
I even crocheted my own ric rac by following a
I'm am a beginning crocheter, and the ric rac was easy to do.
I think it adds a nice handmade touch
from grandmother
for a sweet grand daughter:)
Fabric line:
It's A Hoot
by MoMo for Moda
Owls are so popular right now, and these colors will
match my grand daughter's bedroom
perfectly.
I continued the border fabric on the back and
also used it for the binding.
The twisters are made from
5" X 5" Charm squares.
Happy Birthday Kayla!
