Shout!
Project Quilting Challenge 2 – Music;
“Shout!” baby quilt, 31” x 31”
The idea to use a song title for inspiration nearly had my head
spinning – so many possibilities! After considering many songs, I
decided I just had to pick one and go with it. I picked the song
“Shout!” -- an oldie but goodie done by various artists and used in
the movie “Animal House”. To me, it’s a song of fun and high energy.
I designed a block with an exclamation point to represent shouting,
and used mostly bright, fun fabrics. I quilted it with a variegated
thread in bright colors. It’s a small quilt, which is what I usually
make whenever I use a new block. Doing this gives me a chance to
evaluate how well I like the block. I had fun making this quilt using
fabrics from my stash. I chose the colors based on the ladybug print
in the border. In hindsight, I think a border with a more random
print would have been a better choice. I plan to donate this quilt to
a group that provides quilts for babies born prematurely.

It looks like shouting with all the exclamation. A very nice interpretation.
