Quilting: Modern Twist from Urban Elementz
Interesting Info: I've had this pattern and have been wanting to make it for awhile. So I put it on my 2021 Resolution Quilts list. The pink version went together so fast, I decided to make another in baby boy colors! This one also went to Jack's Basket!
"Modern Twist" quilting: ⤴️⤵️
I used 40 charm squares in this version, and 36 charm squares in the pink version.
The backing is butterflies: ⤵️
Here are all 6 quilt of my quilts that I brought in to Jack's Basket this week: ⤵️

  1. Both baby quilts are wonderful! The Baby's Breath quilting is absolutely beautiful. I love everything about both quilts. Even the backing fabrics are perfect. The families who receive these quilts through Jack's Basket will be blessed by them. Thank you for doing this.

  5. Those are fun baby quilts and a fun pattern - obviously - if you had to make a second one right away. Gretchen did an awesome job with all those hats. I am sure Jack's Basket is always pleased to see you and Gretchen walk in the door.

  6. So glad you made these (love that bubblegum pink) and got them to JB before the snowstorm we're having. Gretchen is amazing, and I'm sure her hats were a hit!

  11. I love this quilt pattern! I see a couple Strip Off quilts in there, which I’ve also made. I do mine for the Christ Child Society. I just ordered the pattern for Building Blocks.

  14. WOW -- Look at all of those hats Gretchen made! That is so awesome, and I love that smile on her face, too. Your charm square quilts look great, too, and that is another pattern I need to tuck away in the back of my brain. I have quite a few charm packs tucked away in corners of my studio that could be put to good use that way!
