Christina made this super cute quilt from fabric that was once her baby daughter's sling. I think this is Amy Butler fabric. If I remember correctly, she didn't use the sling all too often, and I suggested that she repurpose the fabric to make a quilt.
I had tons of thread tension issues. I tried out a spool of Decobob thread by Wonderfil, and after hours of struggling and frogging, I gave up and went back to Glide. I do love Glide, but it is so much thicker than the 80 weight Wonderfil thread. I love the way you can just see the texture with Decobob or Invisifil, but not the thread. I won't give up - I will keep trying.
I would consider this medium custom as I did SID around the pink strips.
My granddaughter and grandson had been laying on the quilt - can you spot his 'drill' in the picture? He spent most of this weekend drilling everything in sight - I am surprised that the batteries are still good.
Here is my granddaughter - it was her sling that was repurposed, and I believe she will be the recipient of this quilt.The green looks really washed out in the picture below, but it is a lime green - closer to what you see with my granddaughter in the picture.
