Up Parasol Herringbone Quilt
A quick and simple baby quilt made from half of an Up Parasol jelly roll, purchased at Mad About Patchwork. This jelly roll was an impulse purchase, and wouldn't you know I end up loving this fabric line!
I don't know why I'm surprised, as I've always loved Heather Bailey's fabrics in the past. The bright summery feel is so fun to sew with.
I had this leftover piece of lime green minky kicking around, so I used it as the backing. I'm allergic to quilting with minky because it's a bit tricky at times, so I did minimal quilting. This works out well in the end as it's a very soft and squishy quilt now!
p.s. I only used half the jelly roll for this little quilt (it's about 36" square) so I have enough to make another just like it, or I could have made it twice as big.
Lovely quilt - the fabric is so pretty.

ReplyDeleteAha, you use bumpers on your crib too! Ok, so I'm not the only one who still thinks they're useful. =) Glad to know that.
