I loved working with the Northcott Colorworks fabrics- the colors were bright and vibrant and the feel of the fabric was very nice as well. I especially loved the print that I was using that was half-square triangles.
My original goal with the fabrics that I received was to make a quilt like the one that I had made for my brother's baby
However, once I started sewing with the actual fabrics, my plans changed along the way! Here are the fabrics that I started out with:
I very quickly made the 4 wedding rings and centers and sewed them all together:
But I felt like there was something just missing... so I took a picture on the diagonal:
and I liked that a lot better. So, I sewed down the wedding rings onto the background and added the lavender diamonds.
However, it still looked like it was missing something, even with a colorful binding!
So, I auditioned a couple ideas...
But none of them were really calling to me and it still felt like it was missing something. So I called my sister :) She finally helped me to land on this idea with the triangles in the corners. I felt like it filled up the space nicely and added some more design to the quilt!
Here is a picture from when I was quilting it- I just quilted it with a big spiral (and bright pink thread!)
And here is the final product! We took it to a local park for a quick photoshoot before I sent it off to Northcott.
I had so much fun making this quilt and I would love the opportunity to do something like this again in the future!
