Little Ruby Sewalong — Part 4

LittleRuby-Quilt

For the last few weeks I’ve been sew­ing along as part of the Fat Quarter Shop Little Ruby Quilt Along.  It’s been heaps of fun learn­ing some new tricks and it’s always a bonus to get a new quilt (or two!) in the pro­cess.  The Fat Quarter shop teamed up with Cam­ille Roskel­ley who designed the quilt using Little Ruby fabrics.

Through out the pro­cess of mak­ing these quilts I was a little wor­ried about how the light­er back­ground would work out.  It sure is dif­fer­ent to the quilts that the oth­er blog­gers made but, I like it!   The low volume back­ground just seems to make the prints and solids pop right out and the match­ing bind­ing just works a treat.

And since I for­got last time, big big thanks to my friend Tara, aka cham­pi­on bind­ing sewist!, who helped me out enorm­ously by sew­ing the bind­ing on this quilt and a couple of my new pat­tern samples (includ­ing the big one, Bailey).

Diane, my long arm quilter, quilted the Little Ruby quilt with this ‘Flower of Life’ pat­tern.  Such a cute designs and pretty per­fect for this quilt.

One of the great things about the Little Ruby quilt along was that there was a second quilt  that could be made with the leftover pieces from the star block strips.   I sent the major­ity of those leftovers down to a fam­ily mem­ber who has just star­ted quilt­ing but I did keep enough to make a little baby quilt.   Using the sol­id strips meant that the blocks for the second quilt look much the same as the ones in the main quilt which was an added bonus.
