Blogger's Quilt Festival

It's Blogger's Quilt Festival time again, and I'm so excited to be participating for the second time! Today I wanted to share my most recently completed quilt, it was made for my newest nephew Noah.


It's a postage stamp quilt of sorts, made up of 648 little squares in this cot sized scottie dog quilt. I made it using orange and aqua scraps to keep it gender neutral as my sister and her husband didn't know they were having a boy until he was born. I straight line quilted it approximately a 1/4 inch from vertical seams.

 When I walked into my favourite quilt shop and saw Laurie Wisbrun's Urban Circus Elephants I knew it would be perfect for the back of the quilt. I love it!


The eyes of the scottie dogs are made from yoyos.


 I made this quilt to match the softie and pillow that I made for my sister for her baby shower. 


I loved making this quilt. I love accuracy and symmetry in quilting and it gave me an opportunity to practice both.

Thanks for stopping by!! Don't forget to check out some more of the wonderful quilts on display at Blogger's Quilt Festival.

    What a fun crib set - love the scottie dogs! They are such a fun different idea, I don't think I would have thought to do that in a postage stamp style quilt. i also love the fresh combo of orange and blue. =)

    I would have to say that is the best coordinated quilt I have seen. Any baby would love that. (and mom too).
