Chainlink: Toby's baby quilt

D37A7736.jpg

I came home from QuiltCon 2013 with a pattern for this chainlink design that charmed me in one of the booths in the expo hall. I rarely am so persuaded, and I had just the project in mind: my friend who was having a baby in September that year, best friend from college who happens to be a math teacher now. I knew I needed to use that sweet Carolyn Friedlander mathy fabric.  

You can see it's a reverse interpretation of the one I saw, where the pattern is happening behind the links. This quilt wound up being a very small stroller quilt of sorts, as I honestly ran out of the solids I had, and had no idea what colors or brands they were to be able to buy more. In keeping with the tone, I used those pixel blocks for binding.

 

Did I mention she and her husband are both math teachers? Their children's names can both be spelled out using mathematical symbols and characters.
