Sendak's Dream

 Dear Readers,

I finished my third quilt this year!  This was another eye spy quilt for a coworker and his wife's first baby.  

If you follow this blog you know this is my go to baby quilt pattern.  I always use Pat Yamin's templates to make this quilt.  Click here if you want them.   Despite having made it a bunch of times I got things twisted up a bit this time.  I offset the top of the quilt one way and the bottom of the quilt a different was when I was joining up the rows.  So after I un-sewed the rows,  I started again and put it back together.  I used the scrabble tiles again, but this time I cut them a bit smaller as it was so hard to keep exactly the same blue border  I think it was much nicer and a cleaner look.  

So the back is pretty wild...

I am trying to use up fabric that I most likely won't use somewhere else.  So I found a stack of blocks that were to be used in a Bonnie Hunter quilt and I changed up how I was making it so they were left over.  Since I didn't have a big enough piece of purple or lavender for the back I used that to separate the other pieces that I would use to form the other side.  

Since there were lots of animals on the front it made me think of  the Maurice Sendak book "Where the Wild Things Are". So Will helped me come up with the name Sendak's Dream.  

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and will use this time to rejoice in the salvation that His death provided.
