Yes, another baby quilt! This is the first of three I'm gifting this fall.
For this one I pushed myself and went improv which is completely outside my comfort zone. I used this quilt by Ashley at Film in the Fridge as my inspiration. I love everything Ashley makes.
My blocks finish at 8 inches, like Ashley's, but since my quilt is baby sized I probably should have made them smaller so there would be more blocks. Oh well, next time...
These prints are all from an original Cotton and Steel collection called August.
I free-motion quilted this with randomly spaced somewhat straight lines. I started going horizontal on the white background blocks and vertical on the print blocks. I got a little bored with that so kinda changed it up in a few of the blocks - improv style!
The backing is double gauze - it's so cozy!
I used Quilter's Dream cotton Request loft batting so it's super light weight.
The binding is from a newer Cotton and Steel collection. I love this print and wish I had bought more of it.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

So glad to see this improv quilt! I really like it. Sort of a planned improv... and the colors are super. I've never used double gauze as a backing, but have sure heard good comments about it. As for batting, QD cotton request is my go-to batting as well. The always-asked question now is: "Do you have a home for this quilt?" I hope so. It's too cute to be stored in the top of the closet!
