Blogger's Quilt Festival: Daisy Chain Finished!

I am pleased to welcome you to my baby quilt entry for the Blogger's Quilt Festival!

This quilt is another oldie but goody... I started it in Afghanistan in March 2011 or so, and was pieced using my Featherweight (you can see it in the bottom right corner in the photo below).  

This design is "Daisy Chain"from "Jelly Roll Quilts" by Pam & Nicky Lintott.

This is the throw size, sans border.  I think the fabric was Lily and Will - the pink version.  

I longarm quilted it this summer.  You too can have me finish up long overdue WiPs as part of Quilts Actually.

The binding and backing is by now looking familiar if you see my work.  When I started quilting I bought this brown fabric as backing for my first quilt.  I bought way too much and it has been used in two quilt backs, and three bindings so far.  I say so far because there is more fabric left.  Luckily it works with a wide variety of my quilts!  The back is mostly flannel - the pink houndstooth you see below.  

This was once again finished during camper quilting.  My featherweight and I can do great things together while my husband watches the baby.  It is quilted with a light pink thread in a heart panto design.  

The colors are most accurate in this rolled up shot - it is such a sweet baby quilt.

Pandora's Box is finally finished!

Sometimes my WiPs get out of hand... as in taking years to finish a simple baby quilt.

I began this quilt top in Afghanistan in December of 2010.  It's been awhile!  The design is "Pandora's Box" from "Jelly Roll Quilts" by Pam & Nicky Lintott.  My version is half size and I left off the border.

I quilted this in mid-July 2013.

I put the binding on this weekend.  As in late August 2013.  Thank goodness for camper quilting.  My featherweight and I are going to put an end to my stack of unfinished quilts.  Or at least that's the plan.

The quilting is an allover square design to keep the quilt boyish.  

The backing is a brown flannel with blue and white polkadots.  The resulting quilt has a nice weight to it, but still moves easily and isn't too stiff.
