Summer Sampler Series: Completed Quilt!

She is done! And I love her so!

So the facts: 

Fabrics: Various Moda Bella Solids and Kona Cottons.

Batting: Warm & White

I did 1/4" inside and outside of the ditch on each individual block, as well as some echo quilting on a few of them, like the Greek Cross. For the rest of the quilt I did 1" spaced diagonal lines running mainly through the background sashing, though on a few blocks (again the Greek Cross) I went into the actual block where I felt it was appropriate. 

I pieced the back, and then a binding using my scraps, it actually worked out PERFECTLY fabric wise, nothing wasted. =) I think the pieced binding helped frame the quilt in a way that complemented the colors, but did not take away from the clean crispness of the quilt. 

Grey backing is not forgiving in the quilting department, but it sure does show off the pattern. And I think my one downfall in this quilt was backstitching. It isn't very apparent on the front, but screams at you from the back. (So if anybody would like to teach me how make a secure quilt without a couple of small backstitches I would greatly appreciate it!!)

My beautiful younger daughter B, was the lucky recipient of this quilt as a late 1st birthday gift.
