So my father in law asked me to make a baby quilt. Or more asked the husband to ask me. Which means the details on the commission were a little sketchy. All I know is the baby is or will be a girl.
Not knowing the parents I figured red and aqua would be the perfect route and after seeing Jolene's gorgeous chevron baby quilt I knew I wanted to do chevrons. But a little different, like the ones in Vanessa's banner. Some tinkering with angles and it worked!
I love the softer angle to the chevrons and when Holly suggested rounded corners it just all came together!
happy weekend,

Very pretty, glad the red didn't run!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is super cool! I love all the little things you pointed out -- the shallow chevrons, the rounded corners, and the different fmq in each row. You made a wonderful present! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite colors!! This is adorable! Super lovely quilting, rounded corners......perfection...
ReplyDeleteVery very nice Chelsea. I've been wanting to try rounded corners, they really look good.
ReplyDeleteI really like the rounded corners...softens up the quilt. I'm going to have to try that. And the quilting, awesome how you did a different motif in the white areas. It will become an heirloom!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I think the rounded corners are a nice touch, and the quilting is really lovely. Great job!
