Baby Zip Tease

I’m delighted to share my version of Baby Zip Tease, one of the 5 patterns featured in this Fast & Fun Blog Hop from Villa Rosa Designs. 

I was contacted by Tricia from Villa Rose Designs through my quilting friend, Bernie, to see if I’d be interested in making one of the quilts in this bundle for the Hop. Well, who could turn that down?! But how to choose? Five designs that are quick, versatile, and definitely fun! I chose to make Baby Zip Tease

Baby Zip Tease is a charm pack friendly design, and it goes together quickly. The finished size of this quilt is 36″ x 38″, perfect for a quick baby quilt, wheelchair quilt, or wall quilt. The pattern could also be easily made to a larger size using multiple charm packs.

For my version, I shopped my stash and used a charm pack of Harvest Road by Lella Boutique. For the background, I didn’t have a charm pack, but used yardage that I had on hand. Those of you who have followed my blog for awhile know that these fabrics are a change from my usual bold color, but I do like the soft colors in this quilt. The backing is also from my stash, a mellow blue polka dot.

You can see that I chose to do simple quilting, stitching in the ditch along the triangles. I used a light blue thread and my walking foot for some quick quilting.
