Energetic

Here's a super easy baby quilt for you!


I came up with this nine block layout while playing with scraps cut with the Dynamic die. Hot pink and bright orange fabrics look brilliant with white accents, along with gray micro dot and multicolored paisley borders.


I quilted with white thread using a small serpentine stitch. Energetic finished out at 34” square, a great size for baby, table mat or wall hanging.


These shapes can be used to make many different blocks, depending on color placement. I tried out several before choosing one. It's the same die I used for Lavender Sensations in late August, and I have more already sketched out in Electric Quilt.





Headed back to the quilt factory, as my husband calls my sewing room.  See you next week.
