| Strips and Bricks Baby Quilt Finished Quilt measures 45.5 inches x 60 inches. |
I have loved working with this customer on bringing her vision for a baby quilt to fruition. The design is simple and perfect for featuring a color palette - this time a mix of soft neutrals with a pop of color - and fabrics.
The fabrics include the latest quilting cottons (and some of the earlier prints) by Australian design team Umbrella Prints. Most other fabrics are from stash, some of which are now hard to find. I love working from stash but it does make the biggest mess ... all in search of that one elusive fabric ... now, where did I put it? Better stash management is required!
For the back of the quilt I have used a yellow tear drop fabric from the Enchanted Collection by Michelle Engel Bencsko (Cloud9 Fabrics), which is organic, complements the quilt and was chosen by my customer. It's a perfect match.
For the quilt binding I have used Squared Elements in Rosewater (Art Gallery Fabrics), just the right shade of pink, and another favorite fabric for binding.
I love photos of binding and folded quilt edges! I hope you do too.
A big thank you goes to my customer who has been a pleasure to work with and who has allowed and trusted me to create instinctively and without constraint.
May this quilt be much loved and often used.
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita

ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely quilt. I want to thank you for the binding tutorial. I despised the binding part of quilting until I tried your way. Now I am actually pleased with the results and it is fun and easy to do. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteSure she is thrilled, it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, really beautiful. I love the square elements fabrics in all their colours. The binding looks so delicate against the backing, such a lovely combination.

ReplyDeletelove the colours and the way they POP!
ReplyDeleteGosh it is lovely Rita your customer will be in Iove! I want one! Xox
ReplyDeleteThe binding is fab!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt for a new baby; the soft colours are gorgeous, and the relatively low contrast makes one appreciate the beauty of the shyer fabrics, so often neglected in favour of their brighter cousins. I love your work and have learned so much since finding your blog - thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rita for letting us enjoy this beauty! Yum, Yum!

I love the beautiful quilts that you share with us! I was wondering...do you cut strips of your fabrics and store them that way or do you cut for each quilt?
ReplyDeleteThe straight line quilting and the fabric you picked make this one sing. That's one lucky little one for sure.
ReplyDeletethis is just wonderful! I love squared elements for binding too :)
ReplyDeleteits so beautiful quilt, I love the yellow backing fabric you chose Rita. Is there any chance as follower to see behind the scene when you taking a pictures of your quilt ? your pictures always looks stunning

It's beautiful, so many lovely fabrics. I really love the pansies in particular.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Makes me want to check out my stash, but afraid to even look at it for fear of messing up the whole house! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO beautiful! I'm so inspired. My quilting mojo has been rather elusive-- your blog often makes me want to sew again when that happens. I always loves your simplest projects-- the simple clean lines, the PERFECT fabric choices, the straight line quilting.... stunning. Thanks so much for your blog and for sharing all your talents!
ReplyDeleteso pretty! How in the world do you get your quilting lines so straight?
