I realized I never posted the chevron quilt I made. I was half thinking of giving it away to a friend for their baby, but wound up doing something different, and I had loaded it to my local quilt shop as a display quilt, so I sort of forgot all about it until I got it back.
I used this chevron quilt pattern because I had been inspired by this free motion chevron quilting. Seriously, go look – it’s amazing.
The fabrics I used were Life in the Jungle – by Doohikey Designs for Riley Blake Designs.
For the free motion quilting I used designs from Angela Walter’s first book – love it so much.
I’m super happy with how it turned out. I watched most of 3 seasons of Dr Who while I made this quilt. I could take pictures of the quilting and run my hands over it all day.

The pictures do not do this quilt justice, it is absolutely lovely.
No solicitation was enforced for this comment—-ah!
The piecing is really nice and I like the colours a lot, but the quilting is amazing.
Thanks! I was super happy with the quilting. (of course, if you look close up at it, it;s not perfect but there ya go)
Looks amazing. That quilt you were inspired by is pretty darned inspiring. And you’ve done a fantastic job. Now if only I could figure out where my copy of Angela’s book went to …
thanks! I need to get back to quilting. I keep saying this and I keep running out of free time. :-/
Winter is hard. After dinner comes and I just want to go to bed.
