Beach Vibe Baby Quilt
Completed: January 2018
Pattern: Super Simple Squares by Missouri Star Quilt Company
Quilt Size: 55.5 X 42.5”; 48 x 35.5” after shrinking
Block Size: 8.5” finished
Fabric: Selections from Michael Miller’s Sandpipers collection by Sarah Campbell and other coordinating fabrics from Weaver’s.
Technique: Modified pattern tutorial by creating strip-set units and altering quilt size. Used diagonal quilting,1.25 inches apart through all three layers. Created bias binding (see technique in Craftsy Sew Sturdy Ultimate Travel Bag class). Attached binding with a 3/8” seam and used seam ripper tip to pull binding even with back. Machine stitched binding with different colored top/bobbin thread (see Craftsy "Mastering in Minutes" Finishing Quilts class).
Notes: This quilt is for Elizabeth and Will’s baby boy due in April. The fabric reminded me of the beach and should work well for their family visits to the Jersey shore.
CARE - 100% cotton fabric; machine wash and tumble dry. All Thread Projects quilts are pre-washed in cold water and pre-shrunk in a hot dryer before gifting.
