A first quilt

Sitting on top of my queen size bed

My daughter and I worked on this quilt a couple of summers ago as a way to keep her busy & productive. I wanted to feel comfortable letting her sew without my being in the room.

Haven't washed it yet, can't wait to see it's crinkly goodness

 I saw this quilting design on Oh Fransson! first, but have seen it pop up on lots of lovely quilts I like.

 I'm especially happy with the quilting in the border--more detail, but not over the top.

Bound in a Modern Workshop print as well.

We bought 3 charm packs of Modern Workshop by Liesl Gibson, several yards of white, and got started. (I think it was 2011 based on when that fabric came out . . . so it's been awhile). My daughter spent quite awhile deciding which fabric would go where. Then, we began to stitch them together. I assembled the rows into the top and added borders. A local friend did the quilting, which was a quick turn around & reasonably priced. (If you need quilter in the Northern Colorado area, I will get you her info).

I let it sit in my room for MANY months, and I was the hold up. For her birthday, I secretly bound it and wrapped it up.

Perhaps on her next quilt I will be ready for her to do the rotary cutting, too, but using the pre-cuts was a great way to let her get her feet wet & make something beautiful.

Feels great to have this finished. Glad she has learned the skills and has the quilt to keep for many years.

***Note: We only used about 2.5 charm packs, because there were certain prints she was not interested in using.
