Little Apple Quilt - Done

This quilt has been done a while ago, it just took me a while to attach the binding. Here it is!

I like how it turned out! It is such a cute quilt! I just need to find a good home for it now! Perhaps it will be my first item in my future etsy store!

Little Apples - Basted!

A Couple of days ago, with my husbands help I basted the Little Apples Quilt. Then I realized I never took a picture of a completed top...


I ended up altering the original pattern, by not attaching the outer border, because I realized that if I did, I would not have enough backing material. I think it looks good without the outer border. I am glad I picked red for sashing, because it is definitely contributing to the overall feel of the quilt. Now I kind of wish that I put a thin red border on the inner squares inside the blocks/ That would have been a lot of work though, and I am quite happy how quickly this quilt came together!

I also very much enjoyed working with Aneela Hoey's fabrics. I have A Walk in the Woods line sitting there, waiting for me to get to it, and I must say, I am very much looking forward to it!

I am quilting this in gray, so I hope that works well. I am quite excited to finish this quilt up and send it on its way to its recipient!

Little Apples Quilt - In progress

I am pretty excited for this quilt. It is featuring Aneela Hoey's Little Apples collection. I am making this pattern. I did increase the size of individual blocks. I ended up cutting the strips to be 3", 5", and 1.5". At this point I have all the blocks made. Here is a sneak peek:

These are the fabrics for border, sashing, backing, and binding.

I just love those prints!

I tried to fussy cut the prints to showcase them better.


I really do think that this pattern was a perfect choice for this line. I am able to showcase the prints really well! I am excited for the final product!
