After the dense quilting on the last quilt that took FOREVER, I decided to do something easy and fast for the next quilt. I was trying to figure out something clever that would fit in the hourglass shapes (tumbler blocks stacked on each other) and then came across the puzzle block quilting pattern. I didn't draw any lines so it's not perfect, but it works for me on this quilt. I just sewed all the lines the length of the quilt, and now I'm working on the crosswise lines. Simple but effective.
The backing is from Ikea; fabric I bought a couple of years ago at least. I'm actually almost done and I started yesterday. YAY.
I finished the top 4 1/2 years ago, yikes. I had no idea it had been that long. It's a pattern I downloaded (free at the time) from Elizabeth Hartman called New Wave. It can be purchased from her website now. If you're interested you can find it here.
I have no specific recipient in mind, but there are always babies, right?
I'm linking up to Blossom Heart Quilts and Freemotion by the River, go check them out.

Ikea always has the best fabric for backings. I really like your quilt.
I have used her pattern before, a fun easy but effective pattern. And yes it is always nice to have a baby quilt on hand, nice job!
