I finished this Wonder Woman kids quilt yesterday. It was a quick and easy little project. I didn’t use a pattern. Most of the fabric (all the WW prints) were sent to me by the lovely @Smmarrt. I ironed them all, then cut the widest strips that I could from the pieces. Mostly 2.5” and 5”, and one 7.5” strip of the comics print that I used as the center. So I laid out what I had and tried to make a cohesive pattern from that.
The yellow strips (cut to 1.5”) were a gift from @sheepBlue, and the cobalt blue strips and medium blue backing were in my stash. I couldn’t decide what kind of pattern to quilt, or what color thread would look good on all the stripes, and I wanted the stripes to feel individual, so I ended up doing a different pattern in each color. Yellow got loops.
Blue got stars. The white Wonder Woman print got lasso loops around Diana in gold. The red got a red meandering stipple, and the comics print got straight lines in light blue.
The binding was done with the comics print too. I think I managed to use all but three 2.5" strips of the Wonder Woman fabric! The few leftover strips went into my 2.5" strips bins. It will be sent to Quilts for Kids, to help a kid facing a really tough time.
@wittychild Quilting is achievable! I promise! I’m teaching a few Intro classes at a historic mansion & park, and we started with Scrappy Mug Rugs (Tutorial), and our next “easy intro” will be Quilt As You Go Potholders. Both can be done by anyone who has a sewing machine, and can sew a straight(ish) line with it. If you’re ever curious to try quilting, come play with us in the Quiltalong! @AudiobookLover runs an amazing -Along, full of fun games, prizes, and plenty of encouragement.
This is such a special quilt and it will be treasured! Both my kids spent time in the hospital when they were younger and the knit blankets they were gifted were a comfort and something we’ve held on to. That quilt would have sent my daughter over the moon.
I love the stitches and the way you stacked the designs. Beautiful!
The obvious (and accurate) adjective for this quilt is “WONDERful!” The child that gets this will for sure receive comfort and probably some welcome distraction looking at all the Dianas and discovering the various quilting stitches.
Congratulations!!! Your Wonderful quilt is a FEATURED PROJECT!!!
