Date night quilt

Okay, it's kind of strange that we made a Date Night quilt for a children's charity, but that's what happened! This one is heading to My Very Own Blanket.

November (I know...) was my month for do. Good Stitches, and I asked my circle members to make blocks using the Date Night Quilt tutorial from Moda Bake Shop...

...using this color palette.

The tutorial makes 18-inch blocks, so it doesn't take many to make a good-size quilt.

I had one extra block, so I framed it and used it on the back.

I used a serpentine stitch for quilting, and bound it using this most excellent print from Bespoken. Glad to have this finished! And now...to bind my Swoon!

Is the serpentine stitch just a set stitch on your machine? It looks really cool.
