Today we are linking up with Melinda at West Metro Mommy for Super Saturday Snapshots.
A few weeks ago I posted pictures of my first quilt that I made for my niece. I also mentioned that I was working on a bubble quilt for my nephew that was due this month. I finished the quilt last week but held off posting photos until the parents were able to see it first. Here are some of the pictures that I took of the quilt.
I made this rainbow pattern as it was requested by my sister in law. It creates a very bright and colourful quilt design. The finished quilt was 25" (63cm) X 45" (112cm)
A close up of the bubbles and the binding. I am still struggling to make the binding look perfect but that will come with practice.
I used a black fabric with coloured dots for the quilt back as it was a good contrast to all of the bright colours on the front of the quilt.

I had a lot of fun making this quilt as it seemed to go a lot quicker than the other quilt that I had made. It took a little while to make all of the puffs but once they were stuffed it was just a matter of sewing them all together. I used this pattern to make the puffs but I chose not to make the ruffle and made a simple binding to go around the edge instead.
If you would like a quilt like this for yourself or someone you know please check out my listing on my Etsy store and I will be happy to design one that is right for you.
Have you ever made a bubble quilt or had one as a child?
Wow! That is a beautiful creation.
ReplyDeleteLot of effort and time must have gone into it.
I hope you make good sales. :)
What a lovely job you did- designing it and everything. It'll be great in a baby's room.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Love the rainbow colors and the bubbly effect...it should be a nice, huggable quilt for the baby. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a pan of colorful rolls. Ha!
ReplyDeleteThe bubble quilt is really cool! I have never seen one before.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That is fantastic! Love the rainbow effect! Bindings are tricky, but do a Youtube search. there are some awesome tutorials. So .... what's your new project ??
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on this quilt -- selecting the fabrics, designing the layout, and constructing it. The backing/binding fabric is the perfect choice to tie it all together. Your niece's family will treasure your creation for a long time. (I bookmarked the tutorial on Pinterest. Thanks for including that link.)

Wow that is such fun, and I bet it is really comfy to lie on.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love the rainbow effect. I have never made a bubble quilt, but they look so soft and poofy!
