I chose to make Row Addition for the blog hop. I loved the simple design and the size is perfect for a baby quilts - there are lots of babies in the family now and I'm sure this one will come in handy.

For my version of Row Addition, I went with Kona solids: White for the plus signs and then Bubblegum, Schoolbus, Sprout, Jade Green and Teal Blue.
The piecing was really quick and easy - thanks to the great design and the clear instructions. The top was done is one evening. Next, I had to decide on a backing and binding. Thankfully, I had the really fun polka-dot wide-backing leftover from another project. I also had enough of it to prepare my binding!
For the quilting, I stitched wavy lines across the width of the quilt with my walking foot. I really love how soft the quilt is with these lines of stitching. I used Aurifil 50 wt thread for the quilting and decided to match the thread colour to the Kona cotton in each row: #2479 (pink), #2150 (orange), #2845 (light green), #2890 (dark green) and # 2780 (navy blue).
Stats:
- Pattern: Row Addition from the book Modern Plus Sign Quilts by Cheryl Brickey and Paige Alexander (see links at the bottom to purchase your copy)
- Size: 40.5" x 45.5"
- Fabrics: Kona White for the plus signs and Bubblegum, Schoolbus, Sprout, Jade Green and Teal Blue for the rows
- Thread: Pieced with Aurifil #2600 (Dove) in 50 wt and quilted with #2479 (pink), #2150 (orange), #2845 (light green), #2890 (dark green) and # 2780 (navy blue)
The Modern Plus Sign Quilts book is full of really beautiful quilt designs - and they go from small runner to big bed quilts. Some are even designed for paper-piecing so you'll get to work on different piecing techniques.
I've already added a few of the quilts on my To Do List:

ReplyDeleteIn addition to loving the palette you chose, I'm crazy about the quilting! I imagine quilting those organic lines was relaxing. I'm a walking-foot girl, too, but I do lots of marking. I'll have to give an upcoming project the treatment you gave this project. : )
