It's finished! I have finished my latest quilt, and it was a pleasure to work with all of these fabrics. The shot cotton (SC67 - grey) by Kaffe Fassett was easy to piece with and I encountered no problems matching it with a standard quilting cotton. It is light weight, drapes beautifully and adds a subtle shift in color. I liked working with the shot cotton and in particular this colorway so much that I have in fact ordered more.
And for the back of the quilt ... I have used some of the leftover pieces of fabric from the front of the quilt to piece the quilt back. It is such a pretty quilt back and makes for a truly reversible quilt!
Some of the details:
- Printed Fabrics: Flower Sugar by Lecien and Delilah by Tanya Whelan
- Solid Fabric: Shot Cotton by Kaffe Fassett SC067
- Design: Half Square Triangles ~ Piece 6 inch units (includes the seam allowances)
- 11 rows x 14 columns: Total of 154 Half Square Triangle blocks
- Finished size: 61 inches x 77.5 inches
- Hours of straight line quilting - estimating 8 hours.
- 7 binding strips cut @ 2.25 inches ~ red and white stripe fabric seemed to be the obvious choice.
With a little detail added here and there straight from the selvage of the fabric.
This quilt is listed for sale in my Etsy Store. You can find the listing here.
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita

ReplyDeletemy fav part is the binding...the stripe is perfect....and you are the only one i know that does a beautiful machine sewn binding. lovely
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh, Rita! You never disappoint. Your newest may be called 'Flower Sugar' but could as easily have been called 'Eye Candy'...but, then you'd have to call every one of your quilts 'Eye Candy' and just give them each a number in series. I would love to one day own one of your beauties. Don't doubt I am saving my pennies.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. This one will be sold before I can get my hands on it! ;0)

All I can say is that you must have some fabulous quilts in your house otherwise how could you give this one up (not to mention many of the other fabulous ones you sell)
ReplyDeleteThat's a brilliant idea with using the selvedge for the name! I might try and remember to do that if I'm making a whole quilt out of one fabric range.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job
Yours is my absolutely favorite blog, Rita, because of your fabulous quilts! I thank you for another beautiful piece of eye candy with so much generous and interesting information and tips coming with it. Not only is this quilt beautiful in front and back but it is a real big one, too, and the price is more than reasonable. No wonder your quilts are sold so fast ;-) May the new owner enjoy all the love and beauty you put into this quilt!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that quilt. Those fabrics are so beautiful and the back is just as gorgeous as the front. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThats really beautiful, i love the way you have made the back reversable to, gorgeous choice of colours and fabrics, dee x
ReplyDeleteAnother impeccable quilt! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove it, esp. with the grey. The back is adorable xo
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a proper double sided quilt! I'm always too nervous in case they don't line up properly when it's all finished, but it's such a great way to maximise quilt usage.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty

ReplyDeleteLove this quilt just like so many of your others. The binding is spectacular, perfect choice. I learn so much from looking at your quilts and colour choices, thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get that shot cotton? I've been trying to track some down since your first post on this quilt.

ReplyDeleteOkay I think I'm going to try the shot cottons out! I have a ton of scraps from the shot cottons I sell in my shop. They aren't hard to sew?? I don't know why I'm so intimidated...LOL!
