Don't be fooled by the simple design, thinking it is a "no brainer" to put together. I was at a quilting retreat when I attempted to piece the first block for the quilt and those around me will agree that I was pulling out my hair for a bit. I found that there is a method to the madness and, once I got going, it was a fun quilt to make.
Simple wavy lines for the quilting make it have a soft hand: perfect for a child's cozy quilt. The background fabric is by Paintbrush Studio. The solids are mostly from my stash, although I did buy a few colors while on retreat at Missouri Star Quilt Company.
Lauren chose Hashtag for Kopila, a thirteen year old girl with cerebral palsy. She and some of the other children are receiving art therapy for the trama they endured during the 2015 earthquake.
What a great quilt Carla! It’s a modern design which a teenager will love. I really like the grey print you chose for the background-it echoes the coloured squares one the edges perfectly!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute quilt and I love the photo shoot with the water behind.
ReplyDeleteLove this design, which reminds me so much of Anne Deister's pattern called "Matrix." Not quite the same, but maybe Anne's is a little easier to follow? In any case, this is great, and perfect for an art-sy child. I hope it blesses her.
