This is "Under the Sea." It was made for Baby Charlotte. It was made before we knew if Charlotte was going to be a Charlotte or a Charley, so I tried to select a diverse group of prints and colors. I think it definately works.
The husband was actually instrumental in the choices for this quilt. I gave him three fabric choices, and asked him to select what he thought would be most in line with what the momma wanted (his co-worker). He selected the MOMO layer cake. I later found out his selection had nothing to do with what he thought mommy would like, he chose it because he liked it. Fortunately, mommy loved it.
I used the Double Dip pattern by ThimbleBlossoms. I have plans to use the rest of this layer cake to make its buddy pattern, but as of today, I have not started yet.
This quilt is probably the fastest I have started and finished a quilt. It was also my first start (and first finish) of the new year. It took about two weeks from first cut, to finished binding. If only some of my other projects could be so efficiently completed.
Quilt looks awesome. Who doesn't love fishies. Very naval, or is it navel because it's a baby quilt? :)
ReplyDeleteLooks cute and that's fun that you have enough fabric to make another quilt!
ReplyDeleteReally cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really fun quilt. Love the fishes on the back!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet quilt and I love how the backing fish echo the blocks on the front. I'm sure the little one loves it.

ReplyDelete"Under the Sea" is wonderful. Don't tell any of my guy friends about what I said here...I'll have a hard time living it down. ;-)
