Quilt measures: 48 inches x 48 inches
I know I gave you a little preview of this quilt yesterday, but that was really only to buy some more time as the binding was yet to be purchased, made and sewn on!
Red and White stripe binding
I really enjoyed making this quilt, especially choosing the fabrics, and I think it has turned out well. The fabrics and color combination are rather reminiscent of a mix between a French country and shabby chic decor.
As usual also pieced the back of this quilt using fabrics to complement the front of the quilt and making it fully reversible.
I quilted it by cross-hatching diagonally through each 4 inch square. I am ever so grateful that the whole quilting process is getting a little easier each time, even for these larger size quilts. Basting quilts however remains unpopular, but I will continue to use pins to baste as this method does work well for me.
This quilt is now for sale in my Etsy Store. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
i like your choice of fabrics. very fun ad nice fussy cutting!

ReplyDeleteOnce again, beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your work. I have a question... I noticed that all of your stripes go the same way in many of your quilts. Is this a conscious thing, personal preference, etc? I'm just curious. I don't line up my stripes the same way, just wondering if that's a no-no... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the picture of the binding all piled up :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing fabric choices! I haven't quite got the hang of mixing my fabrics yet. You are a great inspiration!

ReplyDeleteI love that you've used grey as a colour here and not a background. it works so well with the red/pink/aquas.

ReplyDeleteRita, I am about to put the binding on a twin sized quilt and I'm looking for some advice. I've noticed that your binding always looks so nice. How wide do you cut your strips? Have you done a tutorial, or do you know of a good one? My binding always looks okay, but I want to step it up a notch. Thanks.
yumyumyum. Your quilts are so inspiring to me. I am cutting squares for a lapquilt today...am struggling with which fabrics "go together" - thanks for your generous shares of your work! I love your fabric choices and your quilting patterns.
ReplyDeleteReversible, wow, that is a lot of piecing for one quilt. Nice selection of color way and fabric styles. The stripe binding wraps the whole quilt style together, great choice.
