I have been waiting to make something with Aneela Hoey's Little Apple line. A friend's daughter is having an October baby, so what could be better than an apple themed quilt. I love the children on this fabric and I also love the colors. I made two quilts from her Little Pips line and I think I have one or two more planned for this line! I machine quilted it with straight lines since I was on vacation without my stitch regulator foot for my machine!
Ahhh, Vacation!
Voila... Voile! I have been wanting to make a simple patchwork with 4 inch squares from a stack of fat quarters I ordered from Anna Maria Horner last year. I finally had the time on vacation to sew them together. I did have a problem with my quilt not being square when I was finished and I don't know how that happened since I was so careful with cutting and sewing. It might have been my machine quilting process. For the first time ever, I washed my quilt before sewing the binding on-in hopes that it would square itself! I finally decided that it is one of those 'live and learn' experiences. I should have squared it up before I quilted or added a border which I could have squared up. Oh well! It is so soft and wonderful! I love it!
