I made this stack and slash bug quilt 8 years ago for Justin’s first birthday. I had planned a bug themed party and found all these great bug fabrics and decided to try a stack and slash method. It ended up being really fun and turned out so bright and cheery. I had someone machine quilt it for me with variegated thread, (my favorite!) which makes the lighter blocks really pop with detail.
I don’t know if you can tell from the picture, but this quilt has been LOVED. It is soft and puckered from many, many washes—and that is my favorite thing about it!!
I am linking to the following parties!
Hi! My youngest (who is 3!) is viewing blog posts with me today. I kid you not, he just requested a quilt just like THAT one! I told him I'd "pin" it and get started soon. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt. I haven't made one myself yet, but I hope to make one for my daughter for a wedding gift...she is only 11, so I think I have time if I start soon! I agree about the worn look...I was blessed with 2 of my grandma's quilts and I love em'.
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower! I found your blog on the Sunday blog stalk. I LOVE sewing blogs. :) I have never made a quilt, though. It's on my bucket list.
