Peacock Lane ~ A Finished Quilt

The Peacock Lane fabric collection by Violet Craft has been a pleasure to work with this last week or so. 

This is my second Peacock Lane project using just the one FQ bundle and I may just have to re-stock some of my favorite prints - I am thinking the elephant prints for sure! And perhaps those peacocks ...


As you can see I have kept the quilt back and the quilting really simple.  I love the look of these straight lines, especially the intersecting grid created by the lines that so clearly shows on the back of the quilt; it is a  classic quilting style that is readily adaptable to a wide range of quilt designs and still allows the quilt to drape beautifully.

For binding I have used a wide green/white stripe fabric by Atelier Akikoto add a quirky and fun frame to the quilt.  (Purchased from Superbuzzy in several colorways - including red, and blue - some time ago).


I have updated my Etsy Store: 


And you will find the listing for the Peacock Lane Quilt - right HERE SOLD
