Trish & Birdie Blog Hop!

Today is my stop on the Trish & Birdie blog hop! Trish & Birdie is this super cute new fabric line designed by Deane Beesley for Sweet Bee Designs.

I decided to make a baby quilt with these fat quarters. Aren't these prints lovely?

What's more adorable than chevrons?! I know chevrons were a big thing a while ago, but I don't have a chevron quilt yet! This quilt finished at 44"x51", a perfect baby quilt!

This quilt is not made with flying geese, the chevrons are slightly taller. I had to track which colors went after each other and the different sizes were actually pretty helpful to keep them separated. I also decided to make bonus half square triangles with the corner trimmings.

I added vertical sashing between the chevrons to break up the color. I decided on a dark gray to help that different colors pop!

I picked lots of different spools of Aurifil thread to quilt with. I quilted an infinity loop motif for every other chevron section.

I had enough of each print to make a scrappy binding for the quilt! This is one of the first quilts that I think the back is just as pretty as the front! Remember the extra half square triangles that I made earlier, I added them to the back! (Click on the photo to enlarge!)

One last glamour shot of this beauty!

Interested in making this pattern? Be sure to follow my blog, this chevron pattern may just pop up in the near future!
