A month ago yesterday my 3yr old laid out this quilt design from my scrap pile, as I was working on a larger quilt.


I really can not tell you how much I LOVE this design! The flow of it, the simple lines, the modern feel...it's really just so awesome!

Originally I was going to straight-line stitch in the ditch from edge to edge but after doing one row I decided it was never going to come out as straight as I'd like. So after ripping the stitches out (minky is HORROR to seam rip!) I decided to stipple the entire thing. I think it worked out nicely as it does not distract from the design of the quilt.

The back is charcoal grey minky-dot! It's YUMMMMMM. I am trying to decide if I am going to do my large Ghastlies quilt with this minky also. Grey seems to be a harder color to come by locally, I ordered mine from Fabric.com. This is the first time that I've ever finished a quilt from my scraps before the actual quilt, lol! Bonus!

Rosie thinks she can blend in enough with the fall decorations to escape my 3yr for a nap. Notice her ears though, she's quite alert, lol! Or maybe it was the click of the camera that got her attention =)
