I am so excited to share a new finish today!!! I just love combining AccuQuilt BOB Dies and when the new GO! Merry Go Round Die, was released, the design reminded me of the GO! Weather Vane Die and I wondered what they would look like together ;) And the answer was so awesome!! And sashing up the smaller block and putting it on point, just added so much movement!!! So ya, I just love this Bundle of Love quilt and there is a free PDF Pattern for it, that you can download right here :)
I used some beautiful Dainty Daisy Basics by Riley Blake in Riley Red, Peony, and Peony on Cloud. I was going for an "all girl look" for this baby quilt (since back here I did all boy ;) And the sashing is white just really makes this quilt pop!!! And then of course, adding the red setting triangles so that the blocks are on point just gives each of those designs a new look ;) And that is becoming my new favorite!! It just amazes me how different the block looks when you spin it on point!!
The
Bundle of Love Quilt finishes at 42" x 42" so it is a great baby size quilt. It uses 2 blocks set on point, and of course, cutting them with the
AccuQuilt BOB Dies makes it super fast. And again, your blocks don't always have to be the same finish size, because adding a skinny border to make them all the same size just looks so great!!!
Below is a list of the dies I used, see which ones you already have in your die library and maybe add a few more ;)
And when it came time to quilt it, I wanted to do something with lots of curves and flow to accent all of the points in the piecing. So I opted for a loose feather. It's always a favorite, I can quilt is super fast, and it adds such yummy texture and movement. Just so pretty!!!
And that is my
Bundle of Love Quilt! I hope you love it as much as I do ;) Isn't this picture
AccuQuilt took of it just so great!!! I just want to climb in that chair with a good book and this quilt ;) . And if you want to make your own, you can download the
