To mix things up a bit, I decided to set this one on point. It definitely gives an interesting new twist to the pattern.
The back turned out super cute! I used 2 widths of the panel print and I love the effect it gave! It slowed my progress some because I had to wait for additional yardage to arrive. I'm glad I waited ~ it created an interesting design!
The quilting was simple ~ wavy lines using the number 4 stitch on my Bernina, widened to 5 and lengthened to 4. The binding is the gorgeous plaid in the line which is printed on the diagonal.
In other bits of sewing, I made these bags for the grandkids. They're the Quilted Knapsack pattern from Jodi Nelson at Pleasant Home. My husband laughed because the baby is only 5 months old and not much bigger than the knapsack. He's ready though when it's time to start carrying his stuff!
I'm filling them with goodies and I can't wait to give them to the kids!
Such a beautiful quilt and the backing is inspired too... love this pattern and fabric line!
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with Nordika too, just haven't decided what to do with it yet. Love the concept for the backing you made.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love this fabric line, too, and so I especially love what you did with the panel for the back. Definitely worth the wait :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous, I love it on point. Really shows off the fabric.
