Little Boy's ABC Quilt

May month has been extremely busy for me. I haven't really blogged except for once this whole month. But I did get a quilt done during May. Its a little boy's ABC quilt with blue, reds, yellows and green as the main color scheme in this quilt. This is a perfect quilt for a little boy in your life who is absolutely in love with his letters.

A lot of quilting has been done in this quilt. I started with stitching in the ditch, but it was different this time it wasn't straight lines, it was wiggly lines. Talk about challenging yourself. By the time I finished highlight all the blocks I got really good at quilting free-hand wiggly lines.

 So you can see the grid quite well in the above picture. Here is a picture of the front of the quilt:

I then quilted around each big letter and the motif/image inside each block. This whole quilt was a lot of quilting in straight or should I say wiggly lines. This was really a good practice of this type of quilting.
To be able to read the words in the outside border of the quilt, I choose a loopy loopy design which would not block the words in the outer border. This was really fun.

Here is a picture of the quilt after all the quilting was complete of each block.

I quilted in the inner border with a cross and a circle in the center. This really brings out the print of the fabric highlight it.

It was fun to quilt some of the Leah's FMQ designs: Paisley, Heart Paisley and Spike Paisley.

Enjoy the pictures!
