Tilted Flowers Baby Quilt Finished

I finished my Tilted Flowers baby quilt during WIPS-B-GONE, and even took pictures within days of finishing, but then I forgot to write a post to share the finish. Better late than never, though, right? 

I made the Tilted Flowers top in July 2022 as part of the Summer Scrap Elimination. The free pattern is available here, so you can make one, too. I don't remember why I set the top aside rather than finishing it, but it became part of the (rather large) pile of tops waiting their turn for quilting. That made it a perfect candidate for a WIPS-B-GONE finish.

Getting pictures of the whole quilt was a challenge the day we took it out. In the sun, the quilting creates shadows and makes the fabrics hard to see. In the shade, everything was too dark. There was no in-between. Here's an indoor shot that shows the colours pretty well.

I quilted it with a fun flower design, which creates great texture because of the different size spaces created by the quilting lines. I've been having fun lately using threads that don't blend, so I chose Aurifil 2720 (Light Delft Blue).

The sun really shows off the quilting here!

I had enough medium grey for the backing and the binding. I've been doing machine binding since 2017, and I always stitch the binding onto the back first, then the front. I have a tutorial for how I do my binding, if you want to see all the details. I obviously wasn't paying attention when I started stitching this binding on, as I stitched it to the front first, which meant I had to hand stitch it to the back. I quite enjoyed the process, but it sure takes longer than doing it my usual way!

I still have one other WIPS-B-GONE finish to post. but I haven't even taken pictures of that one, yet. Maybe I'll get to that over the Christmas break. If not, it'll be ready and waiting for a January post!
