Simply Retro Quilt Along!!


A few weeks ago I have stumbled across Janaina's blog and she's hosting a quilt along through Camille Roskelley's latest book Simply Retro. 





I have bought many quilting books in the past and Simply Retro is one of those rare ones where I like each and every one of the patterns in the book. The simple and clean look will suit any family home decor. So this quilt along is a great opportunity to push myself to just do that --- make all of the quilts in Camille's book! I am a little late to the game so I actually missed the first 2 but I have completed the 3rd pattern in the book which is called Baby Love.  



Baby Love is a small quilt about 36 by 36 inches. It's a good size for a baby's play mat/quilt and I use Moda's Apple Jack which gives it a bright and happy tone. As for the back I use some of the left over fabric from Apple Jack mixes Amy butler's Midwest Modern Martini.


  
I have also made these folded star pot holder a while back. Using the tutorial from Moda Bake Shop. It was fun playing with colors, as I am sure I will make some as Christmas present at the end of the year.
