I made Amelia this quilt for her first birthday. It’s called orange, blue, green….
Ha!
No, it is really a St. Louis 16 and is a classic patchwork quilt design. It is also an awesome tool for teaching colors, when using solids. I chose Kona because that is what my scrap baskets are full of!
I made this one with 2″ finished blocks. 5 columns by 6 rows and finishing at 40″ x 48″.
It barely hangs over the fence to capture all the blocks. This is how I balance all those shorter quilts on the fence! Clamp-on lamps, that’s right!
Yellow gingham made a perfect binding for this colorful little quilt.
Of course, I had to add her name in embroidery. I always embroider the recipient’s name, usually in cursive though. This was different.

I’m sure that quilt will be much loved. I guess I should be happy to have a park fence nearby for taking photos … of course not as picturesque as your setting.

You were too quick out of the gate! I was posting link ups as you commented M-R! Or maybe I should have added the links before I joined them? Hmmm I never know which order to do it if I have already posted the link.
Thank you and thanks for stopping by.
