Coded Heart quilt, the pink one

I have always been a fan of video games, and Super Mario was a part of my childhood. My inspiration for making this pattern was the Mario pixelated heart. I drafted the design, simplified it from a quilters' point of view, and Tadah!!!

This version

My pink and first version of the Coded Heart quilt, was, from the start, meant to be a gift for a young baby girl. So I chose fabrics for her, and I think this quilt is really all about her.

I had been hoarding in my fabric stash, a lot of Sarah Jane (Michael Miller fabrics) prints that were my favorites and I just couldn't cut into to them. But that was about time. I also used some polka dots and some feedsack style fabrics, that really matched with the Sarah Jane ones.

Machine quilting

I machine quilted this quilt using a stitch embeded in my sewing machine (my Janome 6700p), that really is magical. Easy and forgiving. Just a zig zag with a walking foot!

The photoshoot of this baby quilt was really fun, as we are exploring the nature around our new residence city, Xanthi.

Lake Vistonida is a big lake that also connects to the sea, near the city of Xanthi, and hosts a great number of birdlife and fish. It is a maginificent place to be.

 

Our next stop was the village of Genisea, that has a lot of old tobacco warehouses, some of which have been renovated with a cultural perspective.

You will definitely see more of these places in my upcoming photoshooting, so stay tuned!
