April Showers: Blog Hop

/ quiltinggail

  

Joan, from MooseStashQuilting is the host/organizer for this hop and here’s what she has to say about it:

Challenge: Late snow showers, rain showers, baby showers, wedding showers. What do you like to shower everyone with?

I thought of lots of things … a cute baby quilt with umbrellas, spring flowers, showering people with love … so many ideas. It was hard to decide. Then I took a peek into my ‘child’ or ‘baby’ quilt bin and I saw these Dr. Seuss fabrics. Perfect for a baby shower gift!

I pieced them together and thought “what in the world have I done?” So, instead of taking it apart and adding some sashing between all the main blocks, I decided to use black thread and make a bit of a ‘thread’ sashing to break it up. It was fun to use different stitches and it worked!

Here is the finished quilt:

Quilt Stats:

  • Size: 34″ x 39″
  • Fabric: from a Dr. Seuss panel and scraps of Dr. Seuss fabric

I don’t have a baby shower to go to in the near future, so this quilt will. be donated to the quilt guild. Make sure to visit all of the other blog participants and see what they made!

  2. Hi Gail, your thread sashing as well as the borders on the blocks make the quilt look good. I’m sure that it will be loved!

  10. I love your quilt without the sashing! The stitching around the character blocks is just enough to set them off. Thanks for sharing!
