Just Couldn't Cut This Fabric.
 
1 Attachment(s)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]514685[/ATTACH]. My ex DIL is having a baby and I wanted to make her a baby quilt. We have a wonderful relationship due to her being Camden's mommy. I had a pattern in mind but then found I just couldn't cut the fabric. It was just too cute!!! So decided to square it up and treated it like a panel. I wanted pink and black zebra stripe but couldn't find a pink that it played nice with so used black and white zebra print. I hope she'll be happy with it. Stitching down the backside of the binding now so should have it ready to send tomorrow.

Very cute!!

Sometimes a whole cloth quilt is the best with some fabrics. Great idea, still made by you and will be well loved.

I see nothing wrong with whole cloths and panels. Yours is great! I have always tried to keep a good relationship with my ex DIL because of the girls. Besides the problems were between the couple not me and the kids. Love your quilt and so will she.

i see why you couldn't cut it -- you did great, they will love it!

sure to be loved. Some fabrics need to be uncut.

That is a cute fabric. I come across fabrics that I don't want to cut so I make the center square in Warm Wishes and cut the blocks 8.5" instead. BQ is also a good pattern that uses a larger square blocks. I am certain the child is going to enjoy growing up with this quilt.

I would have done the same thing. Great job.

Very cute and can see why you couldn't cut it. I have done that before and just cut into very large pieces with a sashing. Double bed size though.

nwm50 03-26-2015 05:40 AM

I would have done the same thing! It's cute as is!!

Very, very ccute. Love the print.

Adorable quilt. I had some oriental fabric that I couldn't bear to cut once upon a time. Made a beautiful (to me) whole cloth quilt.

MargeD 03-26-2015 02:53 PM

You're right, sometimes some fabrics are too pretty to cut. Great baby quilt.

caspharm 03-26-2015 04:20 PM

Cute quilt.

I think it is wonderful that you and your ex- DIL are still on good terms.
