my X-Block quilt for the X-Block Blog Hop, hosted by Amy of Sew Incredibly Crazy.
This is a slightly bigger than the originally posted version when I had everyone vote for their favorite layout.
The final quilt has three full rows of diamonds, ending with blue on each side. I wish I had more fabric to make enough blocks to finish off the diamonds on the top, but, it is what it is. Ultimately, some baby will love this!
These blocks were made with strip sets and the X-Block ruler,
making this a really quick and easy quilt to put together.
But what I love most about this quilt is the quilting - check out that ribbing in the diamonds!
And guess what? I've got a video on how to quilt those ribs, which can be done on either a domestic or longarm machine - it's that easy!
This simple ribbing design combined with stippling in the blue, and one straight line in the red - WOW!
Oh - can't forget the back. It's my trademark flannel cause I like those baby quilts to have a super soft side. And the binding was just squeaked out with the remaining few bits fabric. Boy was that close!
And in a few days, I'll post my second X-Block quilt, Pretty Posies.
I'm sure you'll love this one too!
Happy Quilting!
Love the quilt and quilting! I am going to have to try the ribbing motif!

ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI liked this quilt from the get go, but now that I see a closeup of the fabrics!! Even better - those little airplanes on the blue fabric is so darn cute. And I loved your little video of how you quilted that area. It really looks cool - and maybe even I might be able to do that. Maybe. Love this and some baby will be very happy with it. ~smile~ Roseanne
