QUILT STATS
Scrap Buster Baby Quilt
The finished quilt measures 37.5 inches x 48 inches (95cm x 122cm).
Fabrics include: screen printed linen blend fabrics, Liberty of London,
snippets of Marimekko cloth, and designer quilting cottons.
100% cotton batting (Matilda's Own)
I love how this little quilt has turned out! The simplicity of the design really allows the fabrics and the colors to shine. I adore this eclectic mix of fabrics, both in terms of the prints as well as the textures of the base cloth. This quilt is an "I-Spy" of fabric as well as a modern "I-Spy" of creatures, animals, fruits, cars, flowers, which can serve as a great opportunity for storytelling with children.
The quilting - closely spaced vertical lines - adds texture without detracting anything from the design and the fabrics. A minimal look but by no means a quick process.
For the back of the quilt I have used a much hoarded piece of fabric from Lu Summers - Summersville Collection. It is perfect for the back of this baby quilt. For the binding I have used a narrow green/white stripe (from the Ella's Basics range by Ella Blue).
This quilt is for sale and is listed in my Etsy Store.

ReplyDeleteI always like this simple quilt pattern of yours. It has just enough variation. Always looks fantastic in low volumes! I spy one of my favorites lately - that floral from C & S. Perfect here.
ReplyDeleteSimple, yes, but very pretty! I think my favorite is the backing fabric. It's just adorable and perfect for the quilt top.
