Merry Grinchmas!

Merry
Grinchmas (sort of hard to see, but I promise it's there)
Here's an adorable customer quilt!  Her first top and it was made in a beginner's class.  It was fun to quilt because it's so playful and whimsical.  I can imagine her 2 little boys snuggled under the quilt, waiting for a story, and picking out their favorite scenes from this fabric.  I added more elements in the quilting to continue the fun.


The quilting is subtle, since it's white threads against a lot of white and yellow background.  It made photography a challenge!  But I'll show you what I can.
Ribbon, gifts and Seussian style bubbles in the pink border all the way around the quilt.

Of course, the Grinch!

... and Max

a wonky tree
The quilt back is even, I just didn't get it straight on the bed.

I think she did a great job as a first time quilter.  It was so fun to see her enthusiasm as she dashed through the quilt shop, picking fabrics out for her next 2 quilts.  She's thinking about more ways to bless her family with a gift made by her hands after the next two are completed.  We've hooked another one!  I remember being warned about this very thing in my beginner class. 

Enjoy your day!

  2. Beautiful and very appropriate quilting! Did you do it freehand or is it computer aided?
