Nadja's quilt for her wedding

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Quilting Quickly: Patterns, Techniques & Tips »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Women

Style: Cute


Materials

Summer Breeze layer cakes and jelly role. 80/20 batting.

What was your inspiration?

Nadja was our au pair 10 years ago and she is getting married in the Netherlands in September. When she lived with us for a year, she loved making crafts and some little outfits for my youngest at the time who was a baby. So I wanted to "make' her something special to last for years and our memories of our time with her will last for years.

What are you most proud of?

first big quilt - queen size.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I sent to MSQ to do the top quilting (or machine quilting) and my sewing machine span is just too small. Love how it turned out. MSQ did a fabulous job and really made a difference.

Oh, I made a quilt with this fabric collection, but I just joined 5" squares. Your technique has givern the fabris so much more interest. Great job.

Did you quilt this queen quilt on a standard size machine?

i did - but I sent it to Missouri Star Quilt Company to do the sandwich. There is no way i could get it to fit on my standard machine. I can do full size with a struggle, but definitely not a queen.
