This quilt began as the Six Times the Charm Quilt from Handmade Beginnings by Anna Maria Horner. After sewing together the triangles for the quilt pattern, it just didn't look right. Yes, it was all going according to plan, but, really.....i dislike following patterns when sewing quilts. I like to make it up as i go. So one evening i decided to take my triangles and cut them up into squares. From there, some natural muslin was added to box each square out. Then it was finished with a top-stitch, zig-zag border. I loved the process in which this quilt took shape. I used all scrap fabric from my bin, which was really fun!
At the end, i was pleased with the result. Now it seemed like a quilt that baby Riendeau would like, a quilt that fit Jackie's style. Her baby shower was yesterday, and she totally loved it. Success!
More to come in the next post about other baby homemade's for her shower!
