My oldest little gal recently made the big move from a toddler bed to a twin. Along with that, she needed a bigger quilt! Over the summer, I started this
Easy Bricks Quilt from the Moda blog with a bunch of my neighbors and friends. We all chose our own fabric and just followed their basic pattern. When I was done piecing the top, we still hadn't found a twin bed, so I folded it up and set it aside for a few months.
When we found the perfect bed at the perfect price, the quilt still wasn't done. Thankfully, I have an amazing mother who helped me figure out how to piece the back, since I didn't have enough of the flannel I had chosen. She pieced the back, quilted, and bound the whole thing for us-- all without the use of a long-arm quilter! We are sure grateful for Grandma. She did a subtle chevron pattern in variegated pink thread.
I thought it would be fun to bring some orange and yellow into the pink and green color scheme, and I think it turned out great. Here's a little peek at the back, as my daughter runs off with it.
My corners aren't perfect, but considering that I was quilting in between chasing a two-year-old and keeping a six-month-old happy, I'd say it went pretty well.
