This quilt is for a little girl who is moving into her new "BIG" girl bed. I made her a baby quilt a couple years ago and now she is growing up. Her new room is going to be brown and green with a touch of aqua. Her mom wanted a quilt that was fun on the front and somewhat neutral on the back. This is what I came up with.
The mom picked the fabric that's in the middle star and she wanted solids for the rest.
For the back, I pulled all my scraps into this one to make it come together.
I did cheat a bit on the binding and went with this cute patterned print for an added touch. I hope she likes it!
this is absolutely beautiful, those bold bright colors are so perfect!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fabulous -- she should love it

ReplyDeleteLoving both sides of this quilt!
ReplyDeleteyou say like it I say she will love it love the colours together and yes a beauty for a "big girl"
ReplyDeletewow what a great quilt and the pictures are unbelievable, so awesome. The back is just as spectacular as the front. Do you have a pattern for this star quilt? I think I really have to have one, although my venue for photos won't be anything like yours!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the way you did the back with the scraps. Makes the quilt reversible for use! I have started dong that too! All that work, might as well get double the pleasure from it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she'll love it! both sides are great...
ReplyDeleteI know all of the solids and the brown were a stretch for you, but I really think it's a beautiful quilt. I'm so happy I got to see it in person, AND help with the photos!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt! Both sides are so pretty, and I think you made a good call with the patterned binding, it really makes it pop. Good job!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photo op setting!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. I love that green and would probably have the back showing as often as the front. It's all really clean and fresh. You've done a great job.
ReplyDeleteit's fabulous, you certainly met the brief of fun!
ReplyDeletegorgeous! the colors are perfect...and the back...I love!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool that you got to make her a big girl quilt. I love the colors and how they pop in the quilt design. I've never used a patterned print for the binding but I love how it looks on this! Definitely an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What more can I say? The mom is sure to love it! I know I do! I do love solids, but that binding just adds the little bit of sparkle that was needed to pull it all together. Great job, Janet!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your quilt, Janet! Wonderful, striking design!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will post directions, or, if you need a pattern tester, I'd love to.
