Santa’s Follow-the-Colors Embroidered Quilt – Row 2

Posted on February 8, 2010February 8, 2010 by Martha

The second row has been finished for several days, and I’m just getting around to taking photos.  I was able to cut a lot more squares for the sashing with some pretty vintage scraps sent to me by Barbara at Oodles and Oodles. Thank you, Barbara!

A few of the original designs are going to be swapped out for some from another vintage “follow-the-colors” coloring book.  I asked my daughter, Emily, to select the designs since the quilt was her idea. The other book is generally not as cute, but a few of the drawings are really good.
 
In the evenings, I am trading off between hand quilting the doll quilt and embroidering these blocks — this way I hope to prevent the carpal tunnel symptoms which seem to be exacerbated by the motion of hand quilting.

    I love the designs! Can’t wait for the next row! The bright vintage fabrics really let the motifs stand on thier own much better than holiday prints. Honestly, I would never have considered using them, but they are perfect. I am always inspired to think differently about pattern and color after looking at your quilts!

    I’m so glad those fabrics are finding their way into a quilt, like they were meant to!

    Your embroidery quilts really are a feast for the eyes! I have stopped by a couple of times already to look but haven’t gotten to comment until now (it’s not easy sharing a computer with 4 other people). I keep noticing new details in the blocks and love looking at the vintage fabrics. It DOES make you smile!

    I love this quilt! Where did you get the embroidery patterns. I am new to your blog so probably just missed where you told everyone!
