Some days ago I had an idea for an arrow quilt, and this scribble in my sketch book...
...became this little quilt top.
I used the black Madrona Road text fabric as the background and a few more script fabrics for the arrows, together with some more favorite prints.
It was a bit tricky to make sure that the text was right side up and in the right direction in all the small pieces, but I think it was worth it. I really love the Madrona Road text fabrics.
So far I am quite pleased with the result. It is really great to see how a little sketch comes to live.
I made some pics during the progress and am planning to do a little tutorial for this quilt, if you are interested. Please let me know. ;-)

Hi! Your design is really good and you have used beautiful fabrics and colours! I would love to make a quilt like this! x Teje
Great quilt!
This arrow quilt is soooo cute!
Love the sketch, that's usually how my quilts are born, too.
Very clever design, Steffi, and the colors you selected are absolutely perfect. I love it!
fabulous design! I'd love a tute, this would be a great pattern for a boy. :)
Love this quilt top!! Great design and love the prints you chose...great work!!! We would love to feature this when you're all done, send us a link!!
Great design, I'd love to see a tutorial for this one! Wirklich sehr schoen geworden!
This is really cool! Love it!
I love the text print background. Great job getting it all going the right direction.
This is really striking. With the prints you used you get other secondary patterns coming up but would be equally amazing really letting the arrows shine. I would love to see a tutorial.
I love this! It jumped right out at me from the link-up. Great job.

such a fun design and great colors!
I love this! The text print looks great but it must have been really tricky to manage.
wow, fabulous! I recently sketched out my first sketch and it was with arrows as well ... much simpler though hehe

I just saw your request not to pin your photos without your permission. Would you mind if I pinned a picture of your quilt on my "quilts" board so I can remember to come back to your site to find your tutorial? Thanks! helen in Healdsburg, ca.
