A while ago the fabulous
Oh Frannson! posted her
Preppy the Whale quilt on Instagram. This quilt couldn't be more me if it had my initials monogrammed on it so when I heard she was looking for pattern testers I immediately
begged her to pick me volunteered my services. Given this is a test I wanted to try making one of these before cutting in to my "real" fabric just in case there were any problems. Inspired by the
Vineyard Vines logo I pulled some pink and navy from my stash and started cutting.
I needn't have worried, Elizabeth's instructions were as detailed and precise as ever and I quickly whipped together my first whale, Murray.
I loved him so much I decided he needed a quilt of his own:-) A few stripes later I had this cute little flimsy together just begging to be basted and quilted. Now I can't wait to start cutting a whole pod of whales!!!
Very cute indeed. He so deserved his own quilt :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this quilt and the pink and navy are just gorgeous together!
