Canada 150 – Baby Quilt
The fabrics I chose for this quilt were mostly from the Ambiance and Artisan Spirit collections from Northcott Fabrics. A good choice, I think… quality cotton fabrics from a Canadian manufacturer for a Canadian quilt.
When it came time for quilting, I wanted to change things up from my usual organic wavy lines. I quilted mountains in the “north” of this baby quilt. And watery waves in the “south”.
I chose a bright red for the lettering and numbers…..
And the same for the binding, blending well with those Maple Leaves in the backing.
For the quilting, I used Light Grey Omni from Superior Threads, both on top and in the bobbin. The grey blends in well with all of the different colours of fabrics used in the front – and with the backing that is Stonehenge OH, CANADA also by Northcott Fabrics.

This is so beautiful! Love how you quilted this quilt – that extra touch in each section. Looking forward to making this in the new year! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Lorna!!
These are so wonderful Lorna! The state of Nebraska turns 150 also and I have only a few weeks to participate in a mini quit challenge for it. I have tossed out so many ideas and so now I have nothing. You did such a wonderful job on these!!
Such a cute finish, I really like how you used different quilting motifs in each part of the quilt.
It came out wonderful! Congratulations on the finish!
Congratulations on the finish, Lorna! You have had such a productive year, and I look forward to seeing how your 2017 unfolds. 🙂

Awesome both in the piecing and the quilting. I love how you treated different sections uniquely in the quilting style. Your color choices are exquisite and your backing delightful, even down to the detail of using all Canadian fabric. You deserve to be very, very proud of this one!
Just wonderful, as usual. I am in awe of your designing talents – and your quilting too of course.
Another beautiful quilt. I love that backing fabric. Happy holidays to you & your family.
Your quilt is so beautiful, Lorna!Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. A wonderful finish. Congrats.
That turned out really wonderful.
Hi Lorna, that's a great quilt for a baby born in 2017 or even as a child's cuddle quilt. Thanks so much for linking up to Celebrate-Fêtons 150!
