It's done! I actually FINISHED making it! I'm pretty proud of myself as I think it turned out pretty darn cute & that it only took me a couple day's working on it here and there.
The quilt kit came from Quilt Taffy I think I'm going to make another but I want to make a twin size for Brinley. Don't know if it will work or not as that's a whole lotta fabric to be wrestling with while trying to stitch it all together.
Sigh.....decision's are the worst! :)
Edited: The Fabric used for this quilt was from
April Cornell's Poetry collection.
Hooray for you, the quilt is so vintagey adorable!

ReplyDeleteoh my yes! i absolutely love love LOVE that quilt! make sure to post the next one as well! -v
ReplyDeletethat is so cute. if we are having a little girl next (by the way I am pregnant! we get to find out what it is next month) I am seriously getting this kit and making it! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you are rockin' my socks off with this one, Rachel!! I love, love, love it!! I really really want one!!
ReplyDeleteElise
I am stunned by the quilt. Oh how I would love to have one :) You are a rock star! Thanks again for the help today, it was great to chat too!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful! I also bought that kit from Quilt Taffy, and need to get it done before February as it is a gift for a friend. I'm very worried about using the fabric adhesive and all that, not used to doing things that way, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it works out!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! It is breathtaking! You have created an heirloom for your girls!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing...Rachel, can I be you when I grow up?
ReplyDeleteoh and the sweet girl in the picture has seriously got to SLOW down! she's WAY to big already!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. I can't believe it only took you two days. Are quilt kits that easy or are you just that good? I love your blog. Hope you don't mind if I visit once in a while.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa
ACK!! It's fabulous! That Bridget, she can get you hooked on all sorts of bad habits, not to mention that horrible music she listens to. :)
ReplyDeleteI've thought of a twin sized as well, and here is my brilliant thought. What if you did it in sections? Then when you have the sections finished you could sew them together, wrong sides facing and you would maybe have cute raggy seams going in a grid around your sections???? make sense??
Just a thought. Your pictures are great!
Oh your quilt is adorable!! Great job. I totally understand how much effort goes into something like this.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!!
Congrats on finishing a great project! It's beautiful, just beautiful!!!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaa! (Code for screaming). I'm in LOVE with this! I have lots of shabby chic fabric leftover from another quilt I made a few years back. This gives me great inspritation. You did a beautiful job. : )
ReplyDeleteAwesome! That is such a cute pattern!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!
I agree with you. That would be a lot of fabric to wrestle with. What type of machine do you have?
IT's amazing! Great fabric choices
ReplyDeleteRachel, I'm simply amazed by you! That is about the cutest thing I've ever seen!!! Darling...and that sweet little babe standing in front of the quilt is also darling.

B) When I opened your page just now, my little princess G was standing next to me and said, "Oh, can we order that baby?" speaking of your little pumpkin standing next to her new quilt.
I laughed out loud and knew I had to relay this to you. : )
Oh my~ it's amazing! I love it! The fabrics are just great and look at that smile...she loves it, too!
