My oldest has made her first quilt!! She wanted to make a quilt for a dear friend, and I thought Simply Dashing by Highway 10 Designs was the perfect pattern for a first quilt, and with these fabrics.
Freehand quilting design is Effervescent by, you guessed it, Christina Cameli The first time I did this design I strayed from her design (didn't look back at my reference before I started) and didn't go through the bubbles, so thought I'd try it again. I really like this one.
The first requirement my daughter had when she wanted to make a quilt was a minkee back. This is a beautiful wine burgundy that photoed a little pinker than reality. Now she just needs to get the binding stitched so she can gift it. I finished all my hand-stitching and had more zoom meetings so I did the hand-stitching on this too. Hopefully she'll be back next university break to make her second quilt.
