Little Bird Sweet Cheeks
Posted by Nina on Jun 10, 2010

June has not been kind to me so far! I am laid up with a double abscess in my wisdom teeth and have made an appointment to have them all pulled… I’m so not looking forward to that! All I am able to really do is sew. I was browsing the Moda shop a few weeks ago and I saw this beautiful Chirp! neutral fat quarter bundle and I just had to have it! While there is no baby Sprinkle at the moment, this quilt will stay tucked away in my closet until there is!
I love how gender neutral the prints are and the color scheme is the standard yellow and green which means it will go with just about everything! I used the Sweet Cheeks pattern from Thimble Blossoms. I am not a fan of rag quilts or soft edge appliqué so I zig zag stitched around the edges instead. This will allow them to soften up a little but will prevent strings from coming off and getting into baby’s mouth or wrapped around little fingers. It’s a bit too busy for me to add the bird appliqués I originally planned on but I am loving how it looks so far! I can’t wait to finish it!
