quilting project: zig-zag quilt


Back in February, my friends had the most adorable baby girl named Luna Maria. I, of course, wanted to make a quilt to mark the special occasion. Using this tutorial from the Purl Bee, which I'd been eyeing for quite some time, I created this zig-zag quilt for her. 



I stuck to solids on the front (most of them from my stash) and a 1920s/30s reproduction kids' print on the back that I picked up at G Street Fabrics. I quilted it on my machine, used a solid turquoise fabric for the binding, and added a hand-embroidered tag to the back with Luna's name and birthday. 



I really love working with solids (and half-square triangles!), and was so pleased with how this quilt turned out.

    I love it Caitlin. So puffy and cute. The hand embroidery on the back is really lovely. And I adore the full quilt pictures with your little fingers (or are those hubby's fingers??) sticking out - ha!
