Quilt Top Notes/Techniques

A baby gift for our friends who are both in IT. I had a hard time finding gender neutral (let alone girlie) robot print, but I think this colour combo works well.

I also made a crocheted robot amigurumi from the book Amigurumi Two by Ana Paula Rimoli.

Quilting Notes/Techniques

The middle is quilted in my version of Geometric Allover by Angela Walters. Quilted with Superior variegated pink 40wt in center, and Gutterman 50wt cotton in borders.

Batting  Sew Easy cotton batting.

Quilt Top Notes/Techniques

Flying geese templates for sawtooth stars were too small so used “Square in a Square” ruler to create them.  Also used ruler to create half diamond sections for centre star blocks.  Because the bias was opposite of normal, interesting patterns were created once washed.

Quilting Notes/Techniques

Ditch quilted around stars using walking foot.  Walking foot stars in borders.  Lots of turning the quilt.  Used Sew Easy cotton batting from spotlight.  Lots of fuzzies and bearding while quilting.  Had to pre-wash batting.
