Dubbed the SOMEDAY quilt due to my procrastination. My granddaughter has been wanting a memory quilt from the great grands' baby clothes and it's taken me a good while to get to it. SOMEDAY has finally arrived.
I've already made one for each of the kids, but Mommy needed one too. You can see the first one here . ... the second one here .
Once I talked myself into just starting even though I did not have a definite plan, it moved along super quickly. Larger pieces were made into 9", 9 x13.5" and 9 x 18" blocks. Smaller pieces became 4.5 x 9" blocks or raw edge applique.
The 9" border gave me lots of room to play in for the applique.
These little pockets picked off a pair of tiny jeans are my favourite part of this quilt and they are what got me started on the project. I just couldn't resist the cuteness!!
No hand quilting on this one, but lots of random freemotion .... I like to call it organic because ...well because it's not perfect but it's cute and gets the job done easily. I love freemotion quilting because it avoids so much quilt wrangling!
This time I even did the binding totally by machine and it worked well. I had been a loyal hand stitcher for the final side of binding .... those days are done according to my wrists and hands. 😒
Even the name tag and my little blog tag are done with free motion. I do have embroidery on my machine but I'm not a fan. Free motion is definitely my friend.
