Baby Buggy Wheels
As
promised, here's my latest quilt, made using the new Wheels die from
Blue Wren.
I
stitched up one from remnants to test the die and decided to use it in
this baby quilt. The hot pink with black and white fabric is a
striking contrast and creates a pinwheel secondary design.
You
do have to pay attention to which way the fabric for the outer frame
is laid on the die. The sections sew together very easily. I hand
stitched the center octagon after the block was finished, although
you could glue it and then topstitch. Baby Buggy Wheels is 36”
square.
Quilting
was done in dark gray thread with the Squiggy ruler across the
centers and between each block. Then I added a small serpentine
stitch with a walking foot to fill in.
What
a cute little quilt this makes! I have several more ideas for this
block, so stay tuned.
