Friday Finish

Several years ago I was gifted this panel. OK people, don't gift panels to someone unless you know they really want it, enough said.

The panel is called Berry Patch, copyrighted by Jane Maday, Licensed to WP, wilmingtonprints.com. I stumbled on Prairie Moon Quilts panel challenge and decided it was time to make something with this panel. So signed up for the challenge.

I decided to turn the panel into a crib quilt. I went with a simple checkerboard design for background using pink and white fossil fern fabrics. The problem was the panel, it wasn't printed straight on the fabric. I carefully cut 1/4" from the brown edge of each section then added a variety of greens for borders. I trimmed the borders so the panel sections are straight, making the green borders look weird but the panel sections are straight.

As usual, my machine quilting is simple. I quilted using vertical straight lines 1/2" on each side of the seamline. A variety of green fabrics were used for the binding which was machine stitched attached for both sides.

The crib quilt measures 35" by 43" and has been donated to the daycare at my church.
