 Innes Baby Quilt - 58" square I'm so excited to have a finish for August and it was an easy one! I made this top several years ago when I hosted the Crossing the Drunkard's Path quilt-along. I've just been waiting for the right baby to come along to finish it. Baby Innes will be here in 2019 and baby's parents love the wedding quilt I made for them so they absolutely deserve a baby quilt. This one will be big enough for a floor quilt for baby and guard dogs. I will not tell them that the block is called Drunkard's Path!  These fabrics are from the first time that I ever dyed fabric. This was back when I thought hand dyed fabric was stupid but Anne forced me to do it during one of our craft weeks. It was while dyeing these tone-on-tone fabrics that I learned the joy of mixing colors and got hooked on fabric dyeing. That light background fabric was difficult. I seem to be physically unable to dye light colors.  I quilted it with the new Innovatech thread and, I have to say, I love this thread. I think as I use up So Fine colors that I will replace it with Innovatech.  The back is also hand dyed. It's quilted with the Happy Times pantograph. It was the first time I used this one. It was fast and easy and worked out great for this baby quilt.
I still have to make a label but I have MONTHS until the baby arrives.

That's really funny you though hand dyed fabric was stupid!! Kind of like the typical rom-com plot - they hate each other for at least the first 1/2 of the movie!

Oh the pitfalls of having months to do the label - if it were me I would be madly sewing it on on the way out the door to deliver it! They're sure to love this quilt. 8/16/2018 08:04:33 am
If hand dyed fabric is stupid, I don't wanna be smart. Ha ha.

This turned out lovely. It looks like a pastel rainbow floating in the clouds. Comments are closed.
