Okay, so some of you already know that I finished my Dr. Seuss quilt last week but I said I would post better pics of it so here they are. Plus, it is just so darn fun & colorful I couldn't help but post about it again. It is already a favorite in our house :)
I used just about every print from the Celebrate Seuss line by Robert Kaufman. I also threw a Lorax print or two in there. Each wonky block measures roughly 10 1/4" square. (You can find my wonky block tutorial here).
For the back I cut up a panel from the same line & bordered each scene with coordinating fabric. I used Kona cotton by Robert Kaufman in Turquoise, Snow and a red from my stash to help showcase these adorable snippets. I may just like the back more than the front!
I used a black & white stripe for the binding (purchased at Hobby Lobby). I decided to machine stitch the binding onto the front for this one. Knowing it is going to get alot of use by my 3 monsters I figured that would be best.
I love how this one turned out. It is truly a quilt for both the young and old in our house.
One last picture of one of my favorite blocks.
A big thanks to my neighbors for letting me borrow their swingset for these fun photos :)
Hope you have a splendid day!
