Here's the link: Lone Star Baby Quilt
I wanted to put these tiny floral prints together in a baby quilt.
I know that differing the scale of fabrics is recommended in order to bring life to a quilt, but I just wanted something very soft and sweet and old fashioned for this quilt.
Jackie used a pantograph called Popcorn that gave it a lovely texture and it measures 39 x 39 after a run through the wash and some time on the line. I backed it with this pretty print from the Windermere line
and used what is fast becoming a favorite for binding for many of these floral quilts:
I think I'm going to make some cards with this shot
Charming! You must have a doppelganger hiding in your house! You get more accomplished than is legal for just one person! I have a shoe box full of similar prints, this Lone Star Baby quilt is the ideal way to use them. Thanks again Karin!
ReplyDeleteA darling quilt Karin, and what lovely photos!! Yes, that last one would make great cards.
ReplyDeleteI think the scale of the prints you used works great. The little quilt looks heathery (that must be a word as my iPad didn't correct me) hanging on the fence.
ReplyDeleteTried to comment yesterday and was unable to, so I'll just throw the comment in here. I make roast spread, too, and giving thought to what I call it.......I don't call it anything...... I just make it and we eat it!!!
Oh I love what you did!! the scale is just perfect for that yummy soft look!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, and the weather looks nice, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this quilt, and that big star is fantastic in those fabrics.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and what a beautiful scene for the photo shoot. Great job all around!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt has such a beautiful timeless look to it - just perfect fabric choices! Also the gorgeous scenery sets it off too, thank you for sharing these photos they put calm in my heart & a smile on my face! Have a great weekend,

You are the best at finding great baby quilt patterns, and then actually making them! Thanks to you, I am collecting the patterns, but the making is another story!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very soft, sweet quilt. Wonderful shot at the end for card making. You should sell cards of your quilts in settings like that. As a quilter, I am always wishing I could find cards like that to use in my correspondence.
Sweet and lovely little baby quilt. I have lots of those little florals lurking in my stash. I like this size too - should be a quick project IF only I would get started and DO it. Right?
ReplyDeleteGreat shot with the scenery too.
