I am happy to say that this quilt is also a finish of one of my goals for the 2018 Finish-a-long. You may notice I also changed up the colors on this one. I decided to make this one as a gift for a very, very big Cubs fan. The backing is made from Cubs fabric and the front is lots of Blues and Reds. This one is controlled scrappy, based on what fat quarters and other fabric I had in my stash. All of the fabrics for the top came from the stash! Which makes it a nice stash buster (even though you can't tell by looking at my stash)!
As you can tell I changed up the sashing on this one. I didn't have fun with the parallelograms on the first one, and saw something similar to this on Instagram, and decided to do it.
Best place to photograph a quilt in the winter...on my bed.
Close-up. All over quilting since the fabrics are so busy and detailed quilting wouldn't show.
Cubs fabric on the back
All ready for it's new owner...after a bath.

Such a awesome idea to use Cubs theme! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteThanks. The Cubs friend loved it!
DeleteThe solid sashing is a great variation. Congrats on your finish
ReplyDeleteThanks. I saw the idea on Instagram and loved it. Didn't like making the parallelogram in my other version.
DeleteA great gift for a Cubs fan I'm sure! Well done on finishing this one, and changing the sashing to suit as well!
