Perspective Finish

I have another baby quilt to share with you today! When I first saw this pattern by Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl, I immediately fell in love. And although I was tempted to make the queen size version, I decided to stick to the baby quilt size.

I tried to stay close to the same colour choices as the pattern because I loved it so much, but now that I'm looking at pictures of my finished quilt, I don't think I was as successful with the transparency effect as Yvonne was with hers. Also, I just noticed that I sewed the panel on the right upside down! Oh well!

Some of the fabrics I chose are prints and that might be why the transparency effect isn't as pronounced on my version. Also, I went with Kona Cloud (pale blue) as my background because I didn't have enough white.

This was a really quick and fun quilt to sew - the cutting does take a bit of time and you really need to be organized to make sure the pieces don't get lost. I liked that sewing this quilt top was like putting together a puzzle!

Once again, I chose to quilt this project with wavy lines stitched with my walking foot.

For the back, I sewed together nine fat quarters in shades of blue. Some of these have larger prints I have had in my stash for a long, long time and just didn't think I would use otherwise.

And to add a nice contrasting binding against the light blue, I went with orange.

Stats:

• Pattern: Perspective by Quilting Jetgirl
• Size: 42.5" x 52.5" 
• Fabrics: Kona Cloud and a bunch of fat quarters from my stash 
• Thread: Pieced and quilted with Aurifil #2600 (Dove) in 50 wt
