ombre weave baby quilt - 26 in 21 quilt 2

a quilt! a quilt!
finally a quilt!
yes, i know it has been long overdue, but between deciding to vlog, a baby shower and now moving at the end of the month... sitting at my computer to blog clearly fell by the wayside.

but never fear... 26 in 21 is still going strong!

so let's backtrack to january, when i made this cute little number from start to finish... to go with a quilt that i STILL haven't finished...  insert facepalm emoji here.

lisa's caboose baby was born in october, so of COURSE she needed a quilt.  i was ready to get back in to some girly fun quilts after a wave of baby boys.  i had purchased 2 half jelly rolls from cali quilt co to make this ombre weave quilt, but it turns out... the "new colors" of the v and co ombre confetti fabrics just weren't all the fun colors i needed.  so i purchased a few more colors to punch up the variety, and well... this beauty was born.

punching it up with a few more colors really helped bring out the fun in this quilt... and it was SO EASY to make!  the trickiest part is making sure the different color chunks cut stayed in their zone to make sure each "circle" had one part of each section to get the matching effect.as far as the layout goes, i shuffled the colors around randomly, making sure the purples were spread out from each other, as well as the pinks, grays and such.  a few colors only had one or two blocks, so they were pretty easy to spread out throughout the remainder of the quilt without getting too much of a harsh diagonal of color... which is always something that drives me crazy when it isn't intentional.i used one of my favorite pantographs on this quilt, and it added the perfect amount of movement and texture to the quilt.  i actually used a goldish thread to coordinate with all the metallic dots (glide sand, if you're curious) and as usual... i was nervous when it first started quilting... but i LOVE it so much.

so much so, that i really need to hurry up and finish the second quilt, which is technically the first quilt... yikes!

but seriously...

just look at the minky backing too.

i'm glad i went with just the pink to bind it (which will also happen on the other quilt so they match that way) but it just quilted so fabulously on both the front and the backing!

this quilt is still just sitting at my parents, waiting to be shipped...
but word just came in that i *might* not actually have to ship it.  providing i can get the other one done in just 2 weeks.  here's to hoping!

and as always (since i'm saying it for the 2nd time now... so therefore, always) here's the current 26 in 21 playlist, which includes the videos from making this quilt!
