Finished up a little baby girl quilt! Named it Pink Less Greater Than (my math memory is definitely less than great and I got it backwards! Name adjusted!) because it looks kinda like a greater than symbol.
I made this block…
…for my Modern Block of the Month awhile back and I wanted to make a whole quilt version. I foresee more exploration of this design in the future.
I had fun with the quilting on this one.
I echoed the piecing with straight lines in gray and then I filled in the piecing with vertical straight lines in pink.
I was happy with how it came out!

And speaking of my Modern Block of the Month, I’m going to be teaching all 12 blocks over the course of a year at Sew Modern! Every second Saturday of the month, from 2pm to 5pm.
You can either sign up for the whole year, or just one month at a time!
I love it!! This was one of my favorite blocks of the year. I wish we had another BOM to start wink wink
I hope all is well and your sweet baby is doing great!!
Hi Alissa! Unless it’s upside down, I think it’s Pink Greater Than!
Love it, either way!
Ha! My lack of math memory is showing!! You’re right Liz – off to change the name!!
Super love it!

Love it! So simple and so sweet. Just curious if you stop and start each line when you filled in the straight line quilting in the pink? If so how do you stop and start? I’m never very satisfied with how it looks but to stop and pivot all the time is not easy with bigger quilts.
Hi Anne! I do stop and start. I sew a locking stitch anywhere I’m stopping and then I move on to the starting point, sew a locking stitch and keep quilting. From there, you can either trim your running threads (the faster, not as pretty way to do it) or you can take the time to bury your threads. Having that locking stitch on my machine makes it so that I don’t have to back stitch, which can look a little bit sloppier but has the same effect. Hope that helps!
LOVE this! Your quilts are always so inspiring!!
Greater Than is so clean and graphic and still girly. That quilting is just gorgeous. Always did like your mod blocks of the month and the colors you used.
That is very pretty! I love the shades you chose for it.
Ooh, lucky baby girl…
Absolutely love it. The quilting couldn’t be more perfect. And the pop of pink?? Love!
oh, i am so digging that quilting, and how it looks on the back!
You have made another super quilt! I’m impressed and love the quilting on this one too!
Wow, this is gorgeous. I love the simplicity of it, and the quilting adds so much!
Hi Alissa! What a great quilt!! Love it.
I’m a little late reading this, but just had to say I LOVE the Modern BOM block you feature.
Love the quilt! And I am actually so glad that it is a greater than and not a less than! Especially with the pink. Has a deeper meaning if you get my drift! There is more than our share of “less than”s in the world. Well done!
