Paint Chip Challenge #2

 

  This is Yvonne’s Paint Chip Challenge for our quilt show and she made a baby quilt for her project.   She asked that I make the star pop so I used Dream Puff batting,  lightly quilted the star and did free hand 3’s and E’s in the 6” squares.  I then added the pebbled frame around the star in the white background fabric but then couldn’t decided on what to do in the rest of the white fabric so I left that until this morning.  Needed to look at it with fresh eyes and it is amazing how well that works.   As soon as I saw the quilt this morning I knew how I wanted to do to finished off the design.   On the inside of the pebbled frame I quilted a cross hatch design and then CC’d around them.  Then in the very outer area of the background I did a zigzag and CC’d that as well.

Yvonne used a soft pink Minkie for the backing.

It finally got above freezing yesterday and we had some melting!!   I shovelled the dock in hopes that that sun would clear the remaining snow off and it did.  But now we are suppose to get more snow today….BOOOO!
