It is finished! Oh, and how I love it! I'll tell you, this will really be a sacrificial gift. I know now that I will be wanting to make another X-Block quilt using scraps plus charcoal and white Kona. The border on this quilt is a colorful children's print depicting jungle animals. It amazing how well the fabric picks up all the colors in the blocks. It's called Safari, So Good. Isn't that a great name?
This quilt is one of 30 going to New Hope Homes, an orphanage in Rwanda. I wish that I could deliver it personally!
The straight line quilting is done in charcoal thread. I use Essential Thread from Connecting Threads for piecing and quilting. It is nice quality thread at a great price. A special thanks to Sherri for coming up with the design for this quilt and passing it on.
X marks the Spot right over my heart for this quilt!
That looks beautiful Carla! So great. I love it! And I love the quilting you chose on it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt! Love everything about it! So nice of you to give to others with your quilt talent!
ReplyDeleteIt is just stunning! I love everything about it... the charcoal, the bright colors, the white contrast of the sashing, and of course the quilting. Well done! There will be a very blessed and happy child sleeping under it soon. :)

ReplyDeleteI love this pattern, and the little bit of white set off by the gray. Do you have any idea how much fabric you used? I would love to know if you (or anyone else) figured out fabric requirements for this pattern. It would save me lots of time!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful quilt! I'm putting this on my list of quilts that I want to do this year!
ReplyDeleteIs there a pattern available for this quilt? I would love to make one but have never been very good at figuring out anything like this. Thanks!
