Each Happy block is different, but very pink and girly! Lots of fun looking through my scraps for the 5" centres and the various strips to frame them. I found a lovely piece of fabric in my stash which was exactly right for the backing. Bought several years ago (the selvedge dates it at 2011) that I have auditioned SO many times for a quilt backing and it has never seemed "just right". It was this time. There is such a variety of pinks in the quilt, yet more shades of pink adds to the mix and makes a lovely backing. Binding, again from stash, is a bright pink with tiny white dot which seems to bring all those pinks together.
My friend's daughter is now 25 weeks pregnant so if the baby if a girl, this is the quilt for her.
The quilt measures 37" square and is a mixture of machine and hand quilting.

And finally, the lovely backing!
That is a perfect backing fabric. So pink, but still not overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteA very cute & happy pink quilt! I love the 'pops' of yellow in there too!
ReplyDeleteLovely pink baby quilt. So cheerful. Now what if the baby is a boy? Are we going to see a blue quilt on the horizon?
ReplyDeleteA very sweet happy quilt! Crossing my fingers that your friend has a girl, because that quilt needs to be wrapping up a baby!
