A few years ago I made couple of gingham baby quilts for a friend's twin granddaughters
And soon after, I made a third that our granddaughter has claimed
And I've made another here
And when I stumbled upon this print, I thought a gray and white quilt would be fun. As much as I love this print, I will say I struggled with the strings...so many strings! It's a Michael Miller fabric and this is the first time I've had a fabric produce so many strings. Still, I loved the print enough to deal with the strings.
Sandy used a gray thread and a design called Vortex
I backed it with this print because I thought a touch of red on the back was fun and I bound it with a gray.
In hindsight, it really wasn't the best choice because the background is an off-white and the front is a true white, but it's fine.
It was made with love and someone will love it and that's all that matters.
It finishes at 68" x 80"
I like the simplicity of gingham quilts so I'm fairly certain this won't be the last.
This one has not found it's forever home, but the kids haven't seen it yet. 😉

The gray gingham quilt is very nice, I think the backing fabric is just fine. I think it will be adopted soon, happy stitching!
They are all so pretty, I love gingham quilts. I have done a quilt and several runners, one of them was gray too.
Love these!
