Mimi's Rainbow Quilt

I finally got around to taking some photos of the first quilt I made, this rainbow zigzag blanket for Mimi. (Thanks for the reminder, Megan!)


I have to admit that so far this is my favorite of the quilts that I've worked on; I love the fabrics and the cheery colors.

I pieced the top and then took it to a local quilting shop and had them machine quilt it for me. I smile every time I see the words included in the stitching.


If you're interested, here are the posts from when I was planning and working on this project:

• Planning/selecting fabric
• Conquering my fear of my rotary cutter
• Sewing half-square triangles
  
• Seams, seams, seams (and more seams)
• Binding
