Fairy Tale Quilt DONE!

The quilt for the baby is done and I am really excited with how it turned out:

I have to say, I think this is my very favorite quilt out of all the quilts I have made (which really isn’t THAT many). It probably doesn’t hurt that I merged my two all time favorite fabric designers: Heather Ross and Denyse Schmidt.

I have so many quilt tops pieced, but I hadn’t actually quilted anything other than doll quilts in a long time, so I was pleased at how fast it went.  I did a free-motion stipple and it took roughly about 4 hours.

I made a pieced back, but kept it pretty simple:

I WAY overestimated how much yardage of Kona solids I would need for the front, so I got to use them up on the back!

The binding is Herringbone in Berry from Joel Dewberry’s “Modern Meadow” collection. I actually picked it up the other weekend at a fabulous little sewing studio in town called StitchCraft.  I had a Groupon and picked up a few new fabrics.  It ended up being perfect for the quilt!

We won’t be doing too much decorating this time in the nursery, because 1. we are renting and I don’t want to paint and 2. I’m too lazy and no one will see it.  Poor second-born baby! The quilt is going to hang in her room and be the main decor.
