A quilt made for Baby K, using a pattern I saw on the Accu-Quilt web site. I call mine "P.L.'s 2017" because as a toddler I had a set of plastic ABC's that I called "my P.L.'s", my initials and what I was often called. This is my modern version of my childhood toy. The quilt went together very quickly.
- Size: 41" x 50" Crib size
- Quilting: Quilted in a meandering loop-de-loop in the borders and a meandering stipple around the letters. Free form quilting. 5 bobbins. Used soft yellow Omni 100% polyester thread, named "Butter". Quilting by Patty.
- Backing: White nursery print from a JoAnn's red tag sale. This piece has been in my inventory for some time.
- Batting: 100% cotton batting "Warm and Natural"
- Binding: Blue print fabric from my inventory. I made the binding bias because strips had been cut from the long sides of the fabric (probably for borders) and so I wouldn't have to make so many short straight pieces from the remaining fabric, I cut longer pieces on the bias.
- Pattern: "Alphabet Soup" from Accu-Quilt by Connie Kauffman. I made mine more pastel in color and not so primary colored, but it would be pretty in primary colors also.
- Piecing and appliqué by Patty.
- Pinned and basted into frame April 4, 2017. Full float.
- Quilting on long arm quilter April 5, 2017. (Patty).
- Binding by Patty.
- QC by Spencer who tried to teach Uncle Keith how to QC quilts
- For the blocks I used a Layer Cake from MSQC called "Chloe's Closet". Cut the 10" squares into 5" squares.
