March Finish #2 and #3

Yea!  Two finishes!!
I had most of this quilt finished before the Shelter-at-home order for our county, but now it's done.  The baby was born in October but I couldn't find the right pattern for a boy.  Linda and Carl Sullivan from Colourwerx spoke at one of my guilds in February; this is their "PaintBox" pattern .  I would show it at our March meeting, except all of my guilds are canceling their meetings due to the coronavirus pandemic.  I'll deliver it as soon as I'm able to visit family.



48 x 48 inches

I used left-over strata pieces on the back.
When I make quilts for the children I try
and incorporate a fabric with numbers.
(retired mathematics teacher here!)

This was a kit I purchased from The Quilt Show during one of their sales.  I thought it would be a good donation quilt, but I like it so much I'll be offering it to the family first.  It uses Cuddle fabric so it's very soft.  My first time using this fabric . . .  not too bad.  




I'll be looking at my UFO and WIP lists to see what to work on next.  I do need to make a lavender quilt for the newest great niece born earlier this month.  The fabrics are pulled, I'm just trying to find the right pattern.

Thanks for checking in.

  1. So productive. I have not been quilting as much as I used to. I need to get back into it. I love both of these quilts. The blue/gray is perfect for a boy.

    1. Thanks. I really like the Paintbox pattern. I was surprised at how easily it went together.
