I joined the Across the Sea Quilt Along. I am in love with this quilt! At first I wasn’t totally sure I wanted to commit, so I decided to make a baby size quilt with some random cute Connecting Threads fabric I got on clearance.
I also decided to use various background fabrics for each cross just to make it a little brighter and kid friendly. It came together so fast and looks so adorable, that I immediately got to cutting out pieces for two more Greek cross quilts! The next two I am making are tweaked a little in size to make it a little easier for me cutting it out quickly.
Esther is turning 3 next week, so I am going to make her a quilt using the fabrics on the top right. I bought those little foxes just for her. They are a Monluna Anika print. I am going to use Ash for the background. And I plan to make one more in a combo of Denyse Schmidt’s new lines pictured above on the top left. I am going to use Aqua for that background. And the bottom left…these are some prints I ordered online (with the exception of the blue floral and red tile above it). They are from a few lines (Amy Butler & Heather Bailey mainly) and I can’t wait to make something with them!!!
I need to get going on mine. I love yours!
ReplyDeleteYeah for greek crosses and I also your color choices for the next greek cross quilts, especially the foxes for Esther. (Wait- a quilt for her birthday NEXT week? How...? You are amazing!)
ReplyDeleteI really love the little foxes. I've used Denyse Schmidt's fabric before it's so cute. Good luck making the quilt. Oh and just so you know, I'm following you now too.
