Ruby Quilt Finish and a Giveaway!

I bound and finished up Ruby's quilt this morning and I'm so excited! I love everything about how it turned out. I used Ruby by Bonnie and Camille for Moda with the All Framed Up tutorial found at the Moda Bake Shop. I quilted it using a meander all over the quilt. Also, with a few hits from this post I will hit 20,000 pageviews so I decided to celebrate with a giveaway! More about that later. I'm linking up with Finish it Up Friday over at Crazy Mom Quilts. Which is, typically, where I get most of my hits from.

Giveaway Closed

First the pictures...

Here's a closeup of one of the corners. I took this planning on using it to show off the quilting but you really can't see it all that well, sad! It is pretty fun anyway and it was the first time that I did a whole quilt in a meander. I also love the red binding on it!

Here's the whole quilt finished, quilted, and bound. I'm in love! I can't wait until Ruby's birth and I can get a picture of her on it! I think the applique with her name in the middle is my favorite part!

I think I love the back of this one nearly as much as the front. I used the big flower fabric with the aqua background. I just adore aqua and red right now and the red binding is just so fun!


 Now for the giveaway...
One lucky winner will get this Jelly Roll of Sentiments by 3 Sisters for Moda. I will include shipping and international entries are welcome!

    Hey, I found you over on Crazy Mom Quilts.

    I love this! Especially the name! My son and DIL are having their first baby in a few weeks, so I'm always looking for ideas for something new!

    Thanks for doing the giveaway! (Pick me! Pick me!) HaHa.

    (And I'm going to follow you anyway, even without an extra entry.)

    Bonnie and Camille is a great range - it is so fresh, and you have added an extra freshness with the applique name, it looks so lovely.

    Pretty colors. I like the red and aqua together. I know I would love to have that roll since I recognize the red flowers on white that I used in a quilt I made. Ruby will love it!

    Love this quilt, it reminds my of my organizing philosophies, and how everything needs to be neatly contained. I'll have to pin that tutorial. I believe too!

    I love your quilt - the colours are great and I love that you put Ruby's name in the center. Truly makes it 'her' quilt. I like the red binding too - it really frames the quilt. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway too!
