The parents-to-be chose a surfing theme for their nursery. I enjoyed hunting for fabrics that would blend with their decor.

I finished it in time for the baby shower!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have fun with the fabrics and the technique. It's so easy to work an easy pace and it's very rewarding when pieced together!

Wonderfully happy quilt! How did you get the circles to be so round?

This is a machine embroidered quilt so the circles are defined by a digital file and then I just trim them - it's raw edge applique.

Thanks - that makes sense! Lucky you have such a wonderful machine. I like the concept of raw edge quilting (i have done one) and I might try some circles if they are not too difficult to make neat.

Yes, done in entirely on an embroidery machine. Glad you like it! It's so cheerful - always makes me smile when I look at it.
