Friday Finish: Simply Sweet Chevrons


I've mentioned that I am teaching my first quilting class this winter but didn't show my finished class sample!  It is a no experience required class so I chose a chevron baby quilt using Amanda Jean's method.  The quilt comes together fairly quickly giving us lots of time to learn about choosing and cutting fabrics.  Plus, since it's strip pieced there is lots of 1/4" seam practicing LOL


The print fabrics are all from Riley Blake's Simply Sweet line.  The background is Kona Snow and it's quilted in white thread 1/4" on either side of the chevron seams.


Finished size is 40" by 46".  If you are interested in taking the class you can sign up through Quilting B and More!

Linking up with Friday Finishes!

  3. Very sweet! Love your choice of fabric, especially the backing and the binding. What's not to love about orange (or is it an orange-y red) with white polka dots?
