Other than cooking a baby -- this was a big project for me this summer.My niece Molly was moving in to her big girl bed, and my brother and sister-in-law hired me to make her quilt.
It is a double size, but has a long drop, so the quilt ended up measuring queen size in the end, and was definitely the biggest quilt I've ever done myself.
So big, in fact, it was hard to get a good picture.
The fabrics are all from Riley Blake (Sweet Divinity and Quite Contrary), so I decided to enter it in to the Riley Blake contest... (I wasn't chosen as a finalist, but my friend Amanda was... so vote for her!)
The pattern is Camille's Marmalade.
I resized things a bit so that it would fit her bed perfectly.
And it does.
Because my sister-in-law wanted a scrappy look (rather than using a consistent solid like in the original pattern), each piece had to be carefully planned in conjunction with all the others.
I quilted it at my friend Amanda's house (she has a sit-down long arm) with an all over loopy design.
I am so happy to say that they love it. ♥

This is a gorgeous quilt, Tracey! It looks so pretty on Miss Molly's bed!
(I don't think voting for the Riley Blake contest is open yet, so you'll have to remind us!)
Wow, that turned out really neat! Great job.
Don't you adore all of Camille's patterns!! You did a fantastic job switching all the colors from solids to prints and resizing. That can be the aggrivating part at times:/
The quilt is soooo cute! I can tell by Miss Molly's smile that she loves it too.
It's gorgeous! The top ten should be announced later today and then voting will open. Good luck!
