Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I made my Mama a little quilt. I chose soft colors and low volume in fabrics that reminded me of her and a simple square block I could quilt myself.
I used bits of leftovers for a scrappy binding.
The quilting is all straight lines on either side of each seam. This was the most fun I've had quilting, ever. I will use this again as it was such a pleasure and so relaxing.
I took the quilt to my parent's house and used their pretty brick wall for some photos.
You can see the soft, butter yellow backing fabric.
It is a very little quilt, only 42 x 60 after washing.
It might be small but it's perfect for my Mama.
Happy Mother's Day, Mama!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Just lovely! The soft colors make it look very snuggly and sweet. I'm sure she's thrilled with this special gift!
A beautiful quilt for your mom~ I like pastel colors on quilts. I'm sure she loved it. :D
I love quilts that look like yours. I have quilted for a long time and it took me quite a while to realize that the quilts I enjoy making the most are those just like yours -- I prefer straight line quilting to all the swirls and flourishes so popular now. I like that I can do it by hand or machine and it is relaxing. I find the "showier" stuff not relaxing to do at all. So glad to see that somebody has the same idea as me. And I love your choice of fabrics. As I have aged, I just find "soft" to be so appealing whether in a tactile way or visually. I really like your quilt and I am sure your Mama does too.
It's beautiful! Lucky Mama.
It is so pretty!!
What a beautiful and thoughtful gift. I am sure your Mom loved it and will think of you each time she uses it.
