Because this friend is a pretty classy lady and "cutesy" isn't really her thing, I tried for a more sophisticated palette and pattern. I used a free tutorial for a simple-but-visually-stunning layout from Quilt Dad. All the fabric is from my stash, including the backing fabric.
Thanks to some suggestions from followers, I was able to settle on the title Arrows in Flight, suggested by Pauline, as it incorporates both the "arrows" on the front and the planes on the cute backing fabric.
This is my favourite print but I'm not sure what fabric it is. |
The back is Kona Artichoke and Up, Up and Away by Robert Kaufman |
You can see the free motion crinkling quite well on the back. I used Aurafil White on the front and Aurafil Light Blue on the back. |
It is quite big for a baby quilt but I think it will get even more use being a bit bigger. I can't wait to give it to her...I hope it meets her expectations and that she loves it!
