My friend Trenta, a lady and fellow mom who graduated with my sister, requested this quilt for a baby shower gift. The baby's name - Emma.
The piecing for this quilt is rather simple, but we most certainly "fancied" it up! She had very specific colors in mind for this quilt. And these colors must be very popular, because there were so many combinations of these colors together at the fabric shop, it was not difficult at all for me to blend them. They even had a chevron with all the colors in it!
Lavender, Pale yellow, Grey, and White for the pieced background. For the appliqued name and binding, we used a teal. I secured the "Emma" with a straight stitch using raw-edge fusible applique. Then for the background I wanted a very feminine, flow-y motif. I really love this floral paisley design and it worked well for this quilt I believe. I did a few small pebbles around the applique which made it stand out a bit more.
The icing on the cake is the backing, which is that chevron with the perfect blend of all the colors!
I've never had so many random people stop me at the fabric store to "ooh" and "ahh" over my pile of fabrics ;c)
Very pretty!
