Unassigned denim quilt - for Evie!!


This denim quilt is one that we made without any one assigned to it, and still it sits. I think we'd considered giving it to friends of ours if they had a boy, but they had a girl instead. A few interesting parts of this one - we had started it back when we still serged the quilts and had the serging facing out. I *think* this was actually the project where the serger quit working the way we wanted it to, so the project went on hold.

Years later (and even that is a guess!), hating to see a half-finished project, we decided to abandon the full serging and just find a way to use the pieces that were already serged without any others. The fleece for the back of the quilt was an impulse purchase - it is still one of the most beautiful patterns I've ever seen. Amazing colors - classic, yet with the punch of green and orange to make it interesting, and beautifully shapes and patterns. It's perfect.

So who knows who this quilt will belong to. (I have an inkling, because as I'm posting this realtime 5/30/16 I just found out about friends of ours who are expecting their first!!!) We'll see how that all works out. ;) ~*~ Sure enough - this one ended up going to Nathan and Anne's darling baby girl!! ~*~

Machine sewn, hand tied, poly batting.
