And I a super excited to get to share a finished Box It All Up Baby quilt with you as well ;) This quilt was for my sweet little niece Emily ;) She is my twin sister's third little one and such a cutie!!!
You might remember this picture I shared a while back. This was the first time I got to meet my sweet little niece Emily when she was about 3 weeks old. She sure has grown a lot since then ;)
The Box It All Up Block makes such an adorable baby quilt!! I had fun adding a thin sashing so the blocks can really play together and create some great secondary designs. And the block really does come together fast while still having lots of movement to keep your eyes dancing around. So fun!!
When it came time to quilt, I decided to go with an all over design of all my favorites ;) This mixture of Swirls, Curls, Paisleys, and Pebbles is really becoming a favorite design to do and I just love all of the wonderful texture it creates!!
And that is my sweet little Emily's Box It All Up Baby Quilt!!! I had so much making her quilt with the Box It All Up Block!!! I never get tired of how fun it is to watch a block grow into a quilt!! Just such an amazingly happy process of creation!!
And there just might be some more Box It All Up Block sewing around here :) Don't you just love these shades of Berry Bella Solids!!! Some secret sewing fun to be revealed at a later day :)
ENTRY - Simply leave a comment that includes the number 13. It can be anything, as long as there is an 13 in it :)

In September I celebrate 13 years of quilting
ReplyDeleteI wonder who decided that 13 of something should be called a Baker's Dozen? As a teenager I worked at a donut shop, maybe that's why I wonder that.
ReplyDeleteI have to make 13 quilts by Christmas if I want to give it to everyone in my family. I'm not sure that I'll get 13 done. 13 is alot of quilts.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my hands on Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 13.

ReplyDeleteI wish there 13 more days for this tour. So fun to see so many blocks and blogs!
ReplyDeleteReally love the fabrics you used in this block Melissa. I'd say I'm going to make 13 of those quilts, but yea, that would be a lie. What isn't a lie is that I got married on a July 13th. I never gave it a thought that it was the 13th, but it wasn't a Friday. Of course since that time, many of our anniversaries were on Friday, July 13th. LOL
ReplyDeleteSuch a great picture of you and baby.
Oh wait! Melissa? Do we really have to wait until November 21st to find out if we won? LOL
DeleteI'd love to make at least 13 of this block!

Ha, ha! When I went to click on "comments, it said "130 comments"--13 x 10!!! You got a lot of comments so early in the day (must be the baby pic). This block could be a great way to use some fussy cut motifs.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, I've admired your creative work for a long time and your #13 block is one I want to copy and make a quilt out of, too! Hoping 13 is lucky for me!
ReplyDeleteI would make 13 blocks from the magazine, & I would be sure to make block # 13!!
