A navy and white houndstooth quilt

by

At long last, the houndstooth quilt for our baby boy is completed. Can I get a “Hallelujah?”

I’m pretty much in love with it. And quite happy it’s completed. It ended up being quite a labor of love for me. (If you are interested, the pattern is available for purchase from V and Co.)

While certainly far from perfect, with plenty of issues, I think it’s lovely and perfect for our little boy.

The top is made from Kona solids in white and navy. The backing and binding are navy dots.

I tried long-arm quilting again with an allover pattern. This is my first time with hand binding, and while it was more time-consuming, I definitely prefer the end result.

  2. It is the best time to make some plans for the future and
    it is time to be happy. I have learn this publish and if I may
    I desire to recommend you few attention-grabbing issues or tips.

  3. I am in complete awe. It is so sophisticated and whimsical at the same time. You inspire me to want to learn to quilt.

  5. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful . . . I just can’t say it enough times. I LOOOOOOVE how the quilt came out, and it is officially going on my to-do list. It looks gorgeous!

  11. It’s everything I thought it would be. And I thought it would be spectacular. And I also thought youd be making two of them. Ahem, one for H and one for G? You know it would look fantastic in that British gentleman’s room. But for reals, I can’t believe you’re still pumping things out, I think I set up camp on the couch by this point and made John bring me ice creams. You should follow my lead.

  12. Amazing! Can I have an adult-sized version? I’m sure little Dub will love it.

  14. Reading this i thought “you made this?!” wow, it looks gorgeous! Bet a baby snuggled in it will look even better =]

  15. I’ll say it again, you are amazing. Far from perfect my hiney! The quilt looks perfect from where I am sitting!

  16. Wow, it’s beautiful Kim! You did a great job, and I can’t even imagine how much time and patience that took! Your little guy will love it too, I’m sure! 😉

  17. It’s just beautiful Kim! I can’t imagine the time that took to make all those stitches. Baby Dub is so loved 😉

  18. Ummm, I think it’s fabulous!!!! Love the houndstooth and the navy and white color scheme and polka dot backing and binding. I want to be like you, your crafty skilled lady!

  23. it looks great!! and i’m sure you will be so happy years from now to think about the time you spent making it while he was still inside – and thinking of the times he spent enjoying it!

  24. It’s perfecto! I loved the other Alli’s comment about in 19 years it will be going to college with him. Such a treasure, Kim! So proud of you! Much love – Allie E.

  26. “While certainly far from perfect, with plenty of issues,”…I want to punch you. But I won’t. Because you’re pregnant. 😉

    Holy awesome quilt. I need a Michelle sized. Get on that before this kid sucks all of your time away.

    Your super supportive friend,
    Michelle
