Seriously, using the Quarter Cut quilt pattern with homespuns, along with a flannel backing and a soft cotton batting really make this a very comfy quilt - much like a favorite t-shirt.
I'm sure someone up in Paradise, CA is going to just love it!
An in depth view of the quilt top construction was shown last week when I used it for the Quarter Cut Quilt Tutorial. And now it's all quilted,
with a gold/brown variegated thread on top, and navy blue on the back. I love my Innova for awesome stitch quality!
The Paperchase pantograph is also a perfect choice - it's an open, repeated design that doesn't fight the weave of the homespuns.
Here's a few more closeups to show how well the colors of the homespuns work together - it's really the homespun 'theme' that makes this quilt sing.
Personally, I'd rate this another successful Quarter Cut Quilt, along with Paradise 1
and Paradise 4.
Need to make a quilt in a hurry or maybe just want to use up some stash? Then check out the Quarter Cut Quilt Tutorial to see how fast and easy it is!
Happy Quilting!
Indeed another successful once Susan!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it will create a really sense of calm and home for the recipient.
ReplyDeleteSo many nice quilts, Susan. I'm sure the recipients will be comforted and grateful!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this quilt design. I have many homespuns in my stash from making primitive dolls upwards of 18 years ago. I have the same tan curves print you used as your background. Thanks for sharing. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThese will be so loved! I sent a couple boxes of children's quilts that I hope will be used to snuggle up in.
ReplyDeleteLove it! And I always thought reindeer liked quilts - now I know! LOL
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't have so many going, I'd make a few of these.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilts and I love your simple and effective design!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great quilt for snuggling up on a sofa, or for on a bed. Someone will love it. Thank you for linking up to my Peacock Party.
ReplyDeleteThose are all such great quilts - they look just inviting!!
