A purple and yellow pennant baby quilt

by

Another pennant quilt finished and gifted. I really love these types of quilts and simply cannot stop making them.

I think this type of quilt is perfect for nurseries – just a great, whimsical vibe with lots of patterns and colors. This type of quilt also comes together quickly and makes good use of my fabric remnants.

This quilt was a gift for my high school friend April, who just had her first baby girl. I Facebook stalked her husband’s page and found that the nursery was being done in purple and yellow. So I used those colors with a bit of grey.

I got it in the mail more than a week before baby arrived, which I consider a success. (I’m such a procrastinator.)

What do you think?

  9. I’m just about to pull the trigger on buying a sewing machine that will also do upholstery fabric. Do you have a recommendation on sewing machines? Thanks.

    • I have a brother, but I just don’t have much experience with other machines. I believe strongly in finding a great local sewing shop and going there in person. My local shop is the bomb.
