It was quick but it left me feeling slightly 'ho-hum' about it and on further reflection I think those solid columns of pinky red are too wide.
Having been inspired by the quilting Krista had done on my quilt in the previous post, I decided to see if I could get a bit more creative with this one.
If you are curious to know what the Empress Mills cotton thread sews like, I used it as the quilting thread and it (imo) adds a really nice definition and texture.
You can probably see the quilting better on the back....
It's going to be a Dutch baby, so some obligatory bikes and houses that remind me of Amsterdam canal houses...even if it did say NYC on the selvedge.

And on this occasion, I actually prefer the back.
It is a really fun quilt and I love the way you experimented with the different quilting. Makes for a fun back indeed.
ReplyDeleteI think it's lovely! I'm sure the new parents will love it :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that adorable donkey with galoshes fabric!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! ,this is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteEmbroidery designs
Leuke stoffen en een vrolijke quilt. Leuk dat de nieuwe ouders straks kunnen kiezen welke zijde ze boven willen. Ze zijn beiden erg leuk!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilting. I prefer the back too! That house fabric is lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the donkeys with boots!
ReplyDeleteHey, reversible quilt! I really like the back too but those donkeys are very cute!
ReplyDeleteoohhh, I'm really feeling this one! My eyes keep moving around and my brain is wondering how you chose the fabrics--I see so many different designers as well an an interesting concoction of print size and shape. The Wordplay is truly unexpected and I think it plays up the modernity of this quilt. Last but certainly not least, the pops of green energize the quilt yet tone down the hot pink. Amazing!
ReplyDeletecute quilt, I love experimenting with quilying on small quilts
ReplyDeleteI really like both siides and the quilting is fab!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think you are being hard on yourself. They all can't involve technical olympics like your last few quilts! Simple is good too. I like how you jazzed it up with the quilting and I agree- I love the back. Not ho hum...hi ho! ;)
ReplyDeleteBoth sides are good and will be appreciated I'm sure! Love the FMQ - it is disgusting how you are so good at everything!
ReplyDeleteNew to you . Love your quilts and where you live!
ReplyDeleteRoberta
It's great -- front and back!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's great both sides, but unless you sew on a label who's to say which is the back? ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. Love your combination of colors and cute fabrics! The quilting brings it all together into one very adorable quilt.
ReplyDeleteLovely baby quilt - your used the fabrics superbly. And the quilting is darling. The baby will grow to treasure it I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI really do love your backside!
ReplyDeleteYou are silly, it is beautiful. Imagine that quilt wrapped around a brand new sweet smelling baby, just perfect. And all the beautiful fun stitching will keep mom and baby amused as they sit together. Not ho hum at all.
ReplyDeleteI love both sides!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is a beautiful quilt. I LOVE the little horses in wellies, so unique! x
