Roses around the border put this quilt firmly in the girly category...
...and the colours of the scooters in the centre called out for shades of pink with browns and greys.
So in went a bit of teapots and jam pots on grey...
... and a bit of blue-grey batik...
...and even a tiny bit of khaki green next to some brown batik...
...and some reindeer on pinkish grey.
Pink binding holds the whole colour scheme together...
...and the reindeer put in an appearance on the back.
I loved working with these colours. Somehow the finished effect was restful, perfect for a peaceful baby.
Here goes for Week 152.
The project that caught my eye in Week 151 was Dione's charity quilt. If you haven't seen her blog post yet, nip over now and have a closer look.

Remember, FMQ is FMQ, whether your machine was made last week, or it is older than your granny.
Here are the very easy and slightly elastic rules:-
1. Link up with any recent post, ideally from the last week but within the last month, which features a free motion quilting project, whether it is a work in progress or a finish.
2. Link back to this post in your own post and/or grab the linky button for your blog's sidebar.
3. Visit as many of the other participants as possible and say hello in the comments box.
4. The link up will remain open for four days, from midnight to midnight GMT for the long weekend, Friday to Monday.
So far quilters from the USA, England, Wales, Australia, Canada, Germany, Holland, New Zealand, France, Macau, Russia, Ireland and Brazil have taken part. The first participant from each new country will get a special mention the following week.
Linking up with Sarah's blog Confessions of a Fabric Addict for Whoop Whoop Friday

and Michelle's Romantic Tangle for Let's Make Baby Quilts.
Hello Muv! I haven't visited in a long while. This baby quilt is so sweet. If I had to pick, the reindeer and scooter fabrics are my favorites. The colors are so pretty overall. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cradle quilt you made with those fabrics. I like the FMQ quilt, too.
ReplyDeleteI love your scooter quilt!! I have a stash of scooter themed fabrics that really need to be used, but I'm clearly hoarding them. We ride two little scooters, so I'm particularly fond of them :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun fabrics! The scooter quilt is too cute.
