Shoo Fly Pie Finished

I have a new finish to show you today, the Shoo Fly Pie Quilt.  This quilt is a fun take on a very classic shoo fly block, updated with modern fabrics and a variation on the block design.  My cute lab Katie decided to model the quilt for me :)



This quilt will be a baby shower gift for my wonderful boss in 2 weeks (yeah I finished early!).  She is expecting a little boy named James and the Maritime Modern fabrics from Riley Blake will go very well with her nursery.

The blocks on this quilt are 15" square (finished) so with only 9 blocks I had a really nice sized baby quilt.  This easier quilt finish was a nice break after the more complicated Vintage Stars quilt.


I used a fun wave quilting pattern which I posted a little tutorial on earlier this week here.


I am putting the finishing touches on the pattern for the quilt and will have it out to my pattern testers and reviewers hopefully before the end of the weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!
I am also linking up to Link a Finish Friday, Whoop Whoop Friday, Thank Goodness Its Finished Friday, and Finish It Up Friday.

    I love her posing for the quilt! It looks a bit patriotic and homey with her :) That wave quilting is just perfect with the fabric.

    Love the modern take on Shoo Fly Pie! The red with white polka dots are eye grabbers and the other fabrics are so cute, perfect for a baby quilt. Your boss will love it!

    Beautiful baby quilt, Cheryl! I love the wave design. Thank you for the tutorial, I will have to try that on a smaller project. The photo with Katie looks like a magazine photo :)
