I had the pleasure of long-arm quilting this purple and green chevron baby quilt for Irene B. of Bear Hug Quilts.
The pantograph used is Mod Dotz.

I am participating in The Crochet Crowd’s Stitch-cation Summer Crochet Challenge. Here are my first blocks using the “popcorn” stitch. In addition to learning new stitches for the blocks we are being challenged to use at least 8 different colours. I will make an afghan with all the blocks in this challenge.
My in-laws live in a small northern Ontario town. On our way up from southern Ontario we pass many farms. As a quilter I have noticed many barns that have “barn quilts” on them and have always wondered about the significance and admired the beauty and uniqueness of each block. I have wondered if they were wood or fabric pieces too. Perhaps there were a few of each as we zipped by. Sewing with Nancy recently posted about barn quilts and it intrigued me to do some searching. Interestingly enough, there are actual Ontario Barn Quilt Trails. Have you noticed barn

lovely. thanks for posting.
so pretty! love the colors and chevron is so hot right now (never goes out of style lol). Love the swirlies, combined with the chevrons you get a feeling of movement, like a ship at sea or a cradle rocking. Someone will be so lucky to have this quilt!
This quilt is so pretty! Thanks for linking up at Totally Terrific Tuesday! I hope you come back this week. We’d love to know what you’ve been up to!
This is so cute! Love, love the colors!! Thanks for sharing it with SYC.
hugs,
