I am beyond the moon excited to show you guys Carson’s finished quilt!!!
(Remember it was one of my New Year’s Resolutions?)
Are you ready?
It is exactly what I was hoping for and looks perfect in his room!
The quilt pattern is Baby Steps and the fabric is Play Ball. Both by Riley Blake Designs.
I had a vague idea in my mind of how I wanted this quilt to look, and had been looking and looking for the right pattern.
As soon as I saw the “Baby Steps” one, I knew it was exactly what I wanted.
I added two extra rows to make it a little longer. The pattern was so easy to follow that I was able to whip up the quilt top in one day. (Of course it did help that my mom was in town so she could play with the kids while I sewed).
As soon as I finished the top, I took it to Material Girls in South Jordan, Utah where you can drop of your quilts to be “free-motion quilted” by Wendy of Eagle Mountain Quilting.
I am thrilled with the sports pattern I chose!
My son loves fleece and similar soft fabric, so I put minky on the back and was so happy that the pattern showed up just as well on that fabric!
Wendy had it done within a week!
As soon as I got it back, I hand-stitched the binding and couldn’t wait to get it on Carson’s bed.
It turned out better than I could have ever hoped for and is one of my favorite projects to date!!!
(My son also loves it, which makes my heart so happy!)
And since Riley Blake Designs loves you guys so much, one of you is going to win this complete Baby Steps project kit – includes pattern and fabric to make quilt top and binding!
I’m keeping it simple to enter. Just leave a comment on this post!
Of course I would love if you checked out more of the fantastic fabric by Riley Blake Designs and liked them on Facebook, but that’s completely up to you!
Giveaway will run until Monday, March 19th @ 8 pm MST.
Have fun and good luck!
