The one left to quilt is my 'Pink With An Attitude' X-Squared 16" block quilt. That one will have to wait for a couple more weeks. What I did quilt was the 10" baby version of the X-Squared block. The pattern for the block is available in my Craftsy Shop: X-Squared.

I was excited to quilt this one, yet with most of my quilting I made it up as I went along. It was going to be geometric as usually!
I used Aurifil Natural White thread for the entire quilt. I extended the quilting from the block through the border instead of treating the center and the border separately. It was a fun adventure and something I am sure I will do again!
The four square solid blocks got a pinwheel design, while the the smaller solid section received a geometric jewel like design.
I had one 16" block left over and decided to incorporate it into the back. I sliced it in half and added the sides to fit. A simple solution to orphan blocks.
When I went to pick up my machine from it's yearly (actually three years...oops!) cleaning, I came across this beautiful stripe fabric and thought it was so perfect for the border! The colors are a match made in heaven!
The colors are a match made in heaven!
After finishing both the 16" and 10" blocks, I've come up with so many more ideas I'd love to try! Does that ever happen to you?
From different arrangements, to different colors, solids and prints...and the border...I've got ideas!
I love taking a block and playing with it. It doesn't have to be one I designed, although it does make it even more fun!
Your baby quilt is so sweet and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I love that you used scraps. Yeah for you!
ReplyDeleteEven remodelling can’t stop your work flow, now that’s determination. I like your quilting design, it works very well, and it’s the perfect binding too. A lovely bonus quilt from scraps.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet scrap quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a fun quilt! I love the star that's created when you put multiple blocks together. I'm not sure I noticed that before!
ReplyDeleteThe stripe binding is a match made in heaven! It is delightful. Congratulations on getting down to one quilt left unfinished; that's awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute little quilt!! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThe back looks like you tucked two blocks into bed! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat little finish. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap! Your quilting looks great!
A lovely finish. Well done on catching up with the "pile".
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the binding fabric. x
ReplyDeleteThe back looks like two Xs tucked into bed with the covers pulled up tight! Hooray for finishes.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that quilt. The colors play together so well. Everything about it is terrific.
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect to X Squared, once I saw that pink hedgehog with glasses, I couldn't think about anything else! I scrolled through your whole post looking for a mention of it. Did I somehow miss this post? THAT PILLOW ROCKS! It reminds me of my daughter who likes pink and just got a pair of glasses that resemble those. I'm thinking potential Christmas gift here! If that pillow is for sale, I am your girl! If not, where can I find the pattern?
ReplyDeleteThe binding couldn't be better. The block you sliced in half for the backing is a great complement to the front. Same block but so visually different when cut like that. Very cool Jayne!
ReplyDeleteA very lovely quilt with such soft colours. The stripe binding is just perfect.

Very pretty! I really like how the binding fades in and out around the edges.
ReplyDeleteDelicious and delightful! I love everything about it, but I have to make note of a couple of things. I love how you split that orphan block on the back. It makes the back look sort of like pillows on a bed. And the binding. Lucky, lucky you for finding that bit of perfection!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt...great colors.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish! Hope your remodeling is almost done - I guess you would love to have a clean and uncluttered home again :)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting you did on this quilt!
One quilt always leads to two or more. Either I have scraps from the original that have to become something or I want to make the same but in a different colorway. That slashed orphan block on the back looks like two Easter bunnies peeking from behind the wall. Love everything you do!!!
