Blogger's Quilt Festival - Pink Broken Herringbone Quilt

It's time for Blogger's Quilt Fest - Fall 2013!

The second quilt that I am entering in Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival is my Pink Broken Herringbon Quilt in the baby quilt division.

 

My sister asked me to make a modern quilt for a friends' soon to be born baby girl.  She wanted something more than  just patchwork but still wanted it to be simple and classic.  I have loved the broken herringbone design for a while so this was my excuse to make one :)

I pull all sorts of reds and pinks, many from my 5" square scrap pile and set about making some HST.  I love how many of the colors of the prints do not "go" with each other, but when all placed together with a scrappy arrangement on a background of white, they all kind of go together.

I quilted the broken herringbone quilt using straight lines echoing the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal seams.  I used a favorite pink and white stripe fabric for the binding.

Quilt Stats:
    Quilt Measurements:  approx. 40" x 40"
    Quilted by…Me on my home machine, my Bernina.

  8. Darling baby quilt! Isn't it amazing that in general the pinks didn't go together well but in a quilt look absolutely fantastic!

  12. Great design and it shows how when you have lots of different fabrics in close colours they do create a harmonious whole, whereas if you only used two or three fabrics you could go nuts trying to get them to match properly.
