Pink & Yellow Quilt

Pink & Yellow Voile Quilt

The Anna Maria Horner voile quilt is done. The fabric is super soft. I love that.

The pattern is another disappearing 9 patch quilt for a friend's new niece. (So many baby quilts this year.) But it's a more sophisticated take on a baby quilt, something she can use as she gets older.   

For some reason I could not get a good photo of the whole quilt. The pictures below are much better. It's been hot as hell for weeks, but as soon as I need to take a picture it starts storming.

Selective Perfectionism

planning the next baby quilt

Hi, I'm Kim. I suffer from selective perfectionism.

Normally I go about life and don't care if things are perfect, but when it comes to bowling or figuring out which fabric block should sit next to each other, then it's a real problem.

Next baby quilt in the line-up

I'm working on another disappearing 9 patch quilt using Anna Maria Horner's voile fabrics. They are very pretty, but hard to keep track of which side is correct once they are cut into squares.

Figuring out the layout, though, has been the hardest part. I thought after the last quilt that I would have worked out the kinks regarding the number of fabrics and colors to buy. I have nine fabrics in pink, yellow, and white/light colors. It's a bit of a puzzle to make sure everything is evenly spaced out so, I made a chart to make sure everything was even.

My selective perfectionism pairs well with my love of systems.
