Wedding Quilt in Peach

  A young friend of mine is getting married! Her  Colors are peach and white.. I decided green would look good with those colors and this is the quilt I made her for a wedding gift. I cut around 55" blocks from the background fabric the background fabric and snowballed opposing corners with a collection of leftover charms cut into quarters by the fabric designer Kaffe Fassett, who always designs bold colors and patterns. 

Bordered then with a bold green and a playful spring colors it is ready to inscribe and gift. 

"It is not chains that bind a marriage, but hundreds of tiny stitches."

Congratulations Asia!

Stunning in Blue and Gold

 

 This 47 by 57" lap quilt started with a collection of 6 matching fabrics in blue with with gold accents. I picked up all 6 as a collection at a garage sale in my neighborhood a few weeks ago for $1. I then added pieces from my collection in either shades of blue or shades of yellow. Some blocks twirl right, some twirl left, so I bordered each block on 2 sides to let them stand out from one another. I searched for my border until I located a gorgeous blues with yellow stripe!

 It is quilted on my home machine in a freestyle meandering pattern with a pale yellow backing adorned with one left over block. The batting is a soft cozy polycotton.

More Dog Quilts!

 These little quilts come together easily. I keep a box of 5" squares on "dog" fabric. Just buy a quarter whenever I see something new, cut it into charms, then build a quilt and back it with flannel. 

Then to ETSY for around $50. Pretty predictable sellers.
