My step-daughter is moving into a new apartment on July 1 with her boyfriend, who has a little girl: Ava. I thought it would be nice to make a little wall hanging to decorate Ava's new bedroom.
I used the Spell It with Fabric patterns by Moda Fabrics for the letters. They are so easy to make and I love the size; each letter measures about 9 1/2" high by 8" wide. For the diamond, I downloaded Libs Elliott's Electric Diamond paper-pieced pattern by Sariella.com.
I used pink and purple scraps as well as a fun black and white print for the background.
For the quilting, I used Aurifil thread in colour #2479 (pink) in 50 wt. The stitching lines are about 1/4" apart and I quilted them with my walking foot.
The backing is a super cute Cotton & Steel print I purchased a long time ago.
I sure hope my step-daughter and Ava's dad like the wall hanging!
