Ellie’s baby quilt was my first ‘breaking the rules’ quilt. I started small–just breaking the “quilt finishing” rules that I hate anyway. I didn’t use batting or binding–just made the top from a Moda charm pack, slapped some bright pink fleece on the back, ran a couple of lines of quilting through it and called it a day. Since it doesn’t have much quilting (just quilt-in-the-ditch around the striped border) it’s very soft and the fleece makes it very cozy. The perfect Colorado quilt!

Welcome to my blog!
Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .
I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!
I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!
