Quack Quack

(It was either Quack Quack or Ducks For Cover. I went the less corny route. You're welcome.)

I finished the Duckie quilt late last night! And I managed to watch all my recorded eps of Chuck while putting on the binding! Yay!

(That show has gotten more and more ridiculous but I do love me some Zachary Levi. I like dorky, tall men, what can I say? And yes, the hubs knows he's dorky and tall.)

I basically made the mod sampler pattern by Elizabeth (of Oh Fransson!) but with a jumbled layout and no borders or sashing. And I did more 16-patches because I looove 16-patches.

I stitched in the ditch because I wanted to keep the look of each block. I think stitching in the ditch doesn't get a lot of love because people reckon it's a cop-out, but I think not. Just my two cents :)

Quack.

I was going to use the orange in the quilt itself, but thought it'd make a much better binding. It was the only orange I found that went nicely with the duckies, and I didn't want big splotches of orange everywhere. I'm glad I did that though because the orange frames the quilt quite nicely.

This one's going to live in Australia :) Seems like a lot of my baby quilts are going there lately... must be something in the water hehe
