Baby,baby 1930's

Today's post is a cute vintage themed baby quilt for a friend.

 

I used an old favorite, the split rail fence, for a block pattern.

 Each block is 3 . 75"square (finished to 3 . 25"). 

The fabrics used: 3 charm packs 1933 by Moda as well as some miscellaneous scrapes. 

The borders are 4, 2 .5" stripes from a jelly roll of  Opel by Wilmington.

Finished size is 36" X  42".  

Flannel backing.  

Quilting was done on my domestic machine in a meandering design with little hearts.

I hope you are enjoying a wonderful day!

 

Split Rail Fence

More experimenting with Split Rail Fence designs. Both quilts have cotton backs and were quilted on my domestic sewing machine.
This is a simple Split Rail Fence design. I used 6 rails in each block.  Loved working with the bright colors.

For this Split Rail Fence layout I  adapted some of the blocks by cutting them on the bias and piecing them back as blocks.  I love the movement that was  created and also the addition of the black and white fabric    for an extra visual effect.

Cherries, Split Rail Fence

This fun quilt was from fabric I was lucky enough to win at a quilt guild meeting.  There were 4 coordinating fabrics, enough happy cherry fabric to make a table runner. Of course I couldn't leave it at a table runner! I added some fabric from my stash to make a finished 49" X 49" lap quilt.
I had fun playing with the fabrics-cutting and twisting them into a take on a traditional split rail fence design. I used 5 rails instead of the more common 4 and 2 of the rails in each block are pieced. The rail blocks are alternated with solid white blocks for a pop.The black and white 4 square patches I made in bulk. 
Extras of the black and white patches will be showing up in another quilt soon. The back is a really fun large lime green and white dot. Quilting done on my domestic sewing machine.
