i ticked off a WIP from the list today...
after waiting for my stripes to dry (i had to print up my own binding fabric as i didn't have just the right thing in my stash) i set to sew yesterday and finished it off today.
i am so in love with this umbrella prints range and can't take my eyes off it.
a while ago i got sent some pieces from the elephants love water collection and instantly fell in love. it's no secret that umbrella prints are one of my favourite pair of clever designers and this range is a real winner.
the red/blue combo is always a success and coupled with amy and carly's eye catching designs on beautiful organic cotton, elephants love water really is a must have range.
i wanted to do something relatively simple and let the bold designs do the talking. i paired the fabrics with some coordinating solids and backed it in a red solid for simplicity.
more simplicity with some straight line quilting through the wonky windmills and we were done.
i really encourage you to try elephants love water if you haven't already. you won't be disappointed. check out a stockist near you here.
i've listed this baby quilt in my etsy store here.
