The Playpen Quilt

It's finally finished. I sewed the binding down on Sunday and did a 'photo shoot.' I wonder what my neighbors think of me.

I used 7 fabrics from Wonderland by MoMo. I also used a linen that I've had in my stash since I was 18 (really 13 yrs! I bought it in Brazil.) As well, a repurposed cotton/linen dress shirt from Gord, a vintage fabric that I've had for a number of years and a brown cotton that is left over from another project. How's that for a mixture.

The binding is a burnt orange solid. It's from Fabricland. I really like the quality of their 100% cotton solids.

I'm really, really happy with how it turned out and is making me excited to make other things. But first I have to finish the playpen project.

The back is part of a thrifted sheet. I love it! It was too white and bright so I tea-dyed it to get it more muted. It worked perfectly.

    Ha! I very often wonder what my neighbors think of me when I'm outside taking tons of pictures of a little doll quilt or some other silly thing.

    I love this quilt. I love that you used old and new and repurposed fabric. It all looks like it was meant to be together!

    I would love to know if there is a name for this style of quilt. I know nothing about quilting really but my mother in law does so I know she would help me. It is so awesome! I love the style and fabric!!
