I grew up in a Suburban neighborhood full of kids. And I had a ton of fun. This quilt is in memory of all the baseball I played in backyards and the night games we played until our parents called us in. I used a random smattering of houses, baseball diamonds, lawns, and sidewalks.
I love this line by Jen Kingwell for Moda. It is called Moving On and is a lovely lawn, so silky smooth. It was a delight to work with and made the perfect summer quilt.
The pattern is available here. I’m linking up with Sarah and Amanda Jean to celebrate this summer finish. Oh, and I almost forgot to announce the winners for last weeks giveaway. The random number generator picked #10 Mary from Needled Mom and #22 Linda who said,” Your Modern Gems quilt is awesome! Congrats on the publication in Quick Quilts. Also, thanks for giving us a chance at this generous giveaway.”Please send me your snail mail and I’ll get your prizes on their way.
Very innovative!
That is really beautiful. Looking at the photo, I see a tall glass of summer lemonade hiding in the upper left hand side!!! I'm sure those fabrics were planned for that. 😉
Thanks so much for the giveaway, Em. I'm looking forward to seeing the fun magazine.
This is adorable! Love all of those different prints.
This is such a great quilt!
Oh what a lovely way to see a memory, it's gorgeous and I can see exactly what you're describing !

Ah, thanks for the idea for what to do with the house blocks I've made! Not really wanting to make more, so this will work great. 🙂
