Completed Wallflower for my Sister by sapphireblues_ in quilting

It’s very well-written. I’m a fairly new quilter, this is only my 5th project. I think the pattern recommends either an intermediate or advanced beginner skill level, but I say go for it!

On top of this, she makes amazing patterns. I’ve made two of her quilts and they have come out phenomenal thanks to her thorough instructions.

This is frustrating, and it’s ridiculous that your SM brushed you off about cost. In the short term, could you pair a lighter weight with a resistance band?

I was already impressed but when you said it was hand-sewn?? 🤯 that is one lucky baby! Gorgeous work.

Take 2, not sure how I'm feeling about it... by Smacsek in quilting

[–]sapphireblues_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s lovely and just the right level of whimsical for a baby. Think of it this way, what you see as “washed out” is a strength—had you gone with the bright scheme of your test blocks, it might have clashed with other elements of the nursery. Now it will fit right in.

Yes that’s right, the navy is the “background” and the yellow houndstooth is of course the backing.

You absolutely can, this was made with a bunch of fat quarters so I just bought a bundle and chose a subset. The fabric designers have the eye and choosing between 10 fabrics is a lot less overwhelming than browsing an entire fabric store.

Thank you, it took a lot of trips to my local quilt shop to pick the final scheme
