I bought the inside panel of this quilt from the resale table at the Jane Stickle retreat last November. I had originally planned to use it on the back of another crib quilt but changed my mind. I liked the panel and decided it deserved to have a chance to be a lovely crib quilt, which it did. She measures 48" by 57". I did the fun easy piecing before Christmas and completed the spiral quilting last week on my home sewing machine.
The panel is a Hoffman Watercolor Palette. The date on the top left corner (not shown) says 2015.
I put a pretty batik on the back. I had purchased this fabric several years ago at the retreat but never found the right project for her.
I liked the colors but my favorite reason for buying the fabric was the butterflies. They add a touch of spring to the quilt.
How pretty! Great job Gretchen and so pretty on the snow! I made a quilt using a grid I drew on the background fabric and appliqued 2 1/2" squares in each 2" grid. It was fun, but it is neat when they make a panel and one does not have to do all that work!
So fun to see a completed project with that Hoffman panel. We sold out of 2 bolts at the store where I work--and I never saw anyone's finish until now. I really like the quilting you added, as well as the simple border choice. Thanks so much for linking to tgiff!
Congrats on the finish! That always feels good.
ReplyDeletePerfect on the snow :)
ReplyDeleteThe panel makes a really pretty quilt. At first, I thought you had sewn all these little rectangles together.

ReplyDeleteLove it - especially the pic on the pile of snow.
ReplyDeleteNice spiral quilting! Great use of that panel.
ReplyDeleteI received that panel as a gift some time ago. Never considered making it into its own quilt, as is. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteCool to see something different - very nicely put together; love the batik!
ReplyDeleteNice to have already a finish ;)

You know what, this makes a cool quilt, doesn't it? Love the butterflies, too - perfect pick for the backing.
