Have you been following the 30 blocks in 30 days blog hop? With each passing day of the hop, I think how much I would love to do a full quilt with each block. Carla is using such wonderful fabrics with each block and I am sure you will be just as excited as I have been about sewing up a few. Each of these bocks makes a great stand alone quilt, but I think one of each would make an incredible quilt too.
The block that I have sewn for the blog hop is called Bounce. Taking into consideration the Tigerlily color of the year, I chose a fabric in that color. My second color is a low volume in a neutral print. The blocks went up quickly and in no time at all I had a finished top.
Instead of batting in this quilt, I added a soft minky type fabric to the back and quilted it together. I love the nice drape and feel of the piece. It will make a wonderfully soft and cuddly baby quilt.
We are now halfway through the 30 days, but you can still follow along as well as catch up on all of the ones that you might have missed. Here is the schedule and be sure to enter each day for the drawing on Carla's blog, Creatin' in the Sticks.

Cute simple quilt...I never thought about skipping the batting when using minky's.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and what a neat idea to put a minky fabric on the back. That is something I still haven't tried.
ReplyDeleteLove this--such a simple block with so much motion and energy. I'd like to give it a try in batiks.
ReplyDeleteCute! The minky on the back will make it fabulous for a baby.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! This is soo easy on the eyes
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun and easy block, and your baby quilt turned out great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute quilt! Love the minky on the back too. The flow of the blocks is perfect for the name of the block. Now I want to make a quilt out of that block too! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mary, I've wanted to make this quilt and you have brought it to life. It's just perfect in every way and I love that you put minky on the back. I am going to have to try skipping the batting next time I use minky. Thank you for all your encouragement and for jumping into this crazy vision of a blog hop of mine. Your support means so much. THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving how these easy blocks make into beautiful quilts. Your fabric choices made a beautiful quilt with his block!
ReplyDeleteI have so many ideas now Bounc-ing around in my head! :) Fun block and yes, Minky does make a perfect back!!! Great Job!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt and the minky backing. I have done this before on a few receiving blankets, with flannel on the other side. It's not the easiest fabric to work with since it's so stretchy. I am amazed at the number of grandchildren your 5 children have blessed you with. With one on the way, it averages out to 6 apiece, almost unheard of nowadays. You must be kept very busy sewing for them.
ReplyDeleteI may use this pattern for the 10th. great grandchild, a little boy, due in July. It would definitely make an eye catching pattern for a little baby.
What a great design, and I love tiger Lilly 💥
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a good summer pattern - making a quilt without the batting. My new grandbaby needs a couple of summer blankies :)
ReplyDeleteYou've made a stunning baby quilt, looks wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Simple, but classic looking.
ReplyDeleteI love the way it meanders! I wish I could have made the blocks each day they were posted.
ReplyDeleteLove this block. Just what I was looking for to make a baby quilt
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt, I need to try the minky backing one of these days!
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute baby quilt, the minky makes it extra soft and cuddly.
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is ideal for a quick baby quilt
ReplyDeleteLove how this turned out - looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I was thinking of you yesterday when out watering my clivias. They're not as happy as they used to be since the neighbor removed three trees. Poor things are getting too much sun. :(
Fun! I'm seeing teals, with blues, thinking rivers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pattern, Mary !And your quilting is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMinky is so yummy for baby quilts. And your bounce quilt definitely bounces. Very nice layout.
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of Tigerlily color and the minky fabric with the jungle animals on the back. I, too, have used minkyfabric on the back of a baby quilt with no other batting. So cuddly.
ReplyDeletelove your quilt!!
ReplyDeleteHi Such a beautiful quilt and it will be so soft with the minky backing it,well done my friend on a beautiful finish xx
ReplyDeleteI like the movement the block provides.
ReplyDeleteCool! Looks like a pixelated chevron. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really soft and cuddly quilt!

I love the "wave" of this quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove the Catch the Wave block. Very nice and simple. Great Charity quilt.
ReplyDeleteI would love to snuggle in this sweet quilt with the soft minky backing. How fun to finish it in such a quick time. We have Snow and Sunshine today. The Snow is sparkling like diamonds...so pretty. Happy Spring...<3
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! It looks almost like a Bargello. Thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
Turned out wonderfully and I just know that backing fabric is just the right touch. I have not thought of doing that but just might on my next one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to put your quilt together. Minky is so soft. I like how the block you made created such a lovely quilt design.
ReplyDeleteOoh I bet that is so nice to cuddle with! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet quilt, Mary! Done in blue, it would look like waves.
ReplyDelete-Soma
Great idea with minky on back! Pretty quilt! Thank you, Susan
ReplyDeleteA lovely pattern make into a sweet cuddles quilt.
ReplyDeleteThirty blocks in 30 days--no wonder you get so much done! It reminds me of that writing a novel thing in November. I do know someone who did that, and got it published. As for me, we just keep admiring all that you do, including this cute quilt. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous...and it's got that wonderful vintage feel!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt will make a baby very happy! I had not heard of this blog hop before...I've been a bit distracted.
ReplyDeletelove this quilt. It looks like its cheering you on by doing the wave. Such fun, As a baby quilt terrific with minky.
