Happy Friday Everyone! This was a big week for me! I did my first “customer” quilt. Customer is in quotations because it is for my mom and she will never have to pay me, because, hello! She’s my mom! That being said, I treated her/our quilt like I would have any other quilt and did my best work on it.
You may remember me piecing some Preppy the Whale blocks back in May.
When my whales were combined with my mom’s whales we ended up with a gorgeous baby quilt! The quilt turned out precious and we decided that the quilting needed to add some movement to the quilt. Check out the waves that I added going in opposing directions.
I did a simple wishbone design in the borders to finish it off. I love how it turned out. This quilt is 45″ x 47″ which means it would fall into the hourly quilting category for my pricing. Please checkout the Long Arm Services tab at the top of my blog to see more about my pricing.
Here is a fun finish shot. Now this quilt isn’t truly finished yet because it isn’t bound, that’s my mom’s job because I’m not the biggest fan of hand work. I will be shipping this to her as soon as I finish her second baby quilt!
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and please don’t hesitate to reach out and contact me if you have any questions regarding my pricing and quilting services!
It’s stunning.
The pattern you used for quilting makes whales swimming through the water.
It looks really great! Congratulations!
It’s so pretty and love the dark background! Great quilted waves too!
The whales quilt is adorable, and the waves are the perfect quilting! It is lovely. I’m with you on binding. =) Are you accepting credit cards?
Dang it – my “must have” list just got a little longer! The quilt and your quilting are a perfect match. I’m really excited about your new business, too!
I absolutely love the quilt Melissa! Thank you for doing such a fabulous job!!
