Momo “It’s A Hoot” Quilt

I finished my quasi-quilt (there’s no batting/quilting through the laters) last night. I’m really happy with it, it’s so cute! I used a quarter yard bundle of the Momo “It’s a Hoot” collection. I used everything in the bundle except for a couple light checkered fabrics, and three of the red fabrics because I thought they clashed with the rest of the prints. I also had an extra yard of two of the prints (Stripe in Flight in raspberry and Owls in turquoise). The squares were all 8.5″ before sewing, and the quilt is 12 blocks by 12 blocks. The back is a raised minky dot in pink. It’s very beautiful. Instead of quilting it, I just sewed, turned, then topstitched the edges.

I had a really good time making this. For my first quilt I pressed the edges to one side, but this time, after reading Elizabeth Hartman’s book, I tried pressing the seams open. I’m not sure if there is a lot of difference in the finished product, but honestly I think I liked pressing them open better. I realize that it takes longer to do, but there’s something in the process of pressing them open that I enjoyed.

On to the next project! If you’re interested, be sure to check out the Heather Ross Quilt Along! I can’t wait, I am slowly assembling fabrics and getting really excited about it!

    Oh I love this! I have 2 fat quarter bundles of Marine that I would LOVE to make a blanket like this for my son! One question though: did you pre-wash? I usually don’t with quilts, but with something that isn’t as “quilted”, I worry that it would shrink weird. On the other hand, I don’t want to wash precuts! WWYD?
