Just a quick little quilt made from my scrap bin. I used the pattern from Simply Retro ( I got this book for Christmas!) as inspiration, but sized it way down to accomodate my scraps. I think I cut the squares at 2.5″. Sure makes for some cute little blocks.
The binding method I used this time was to wrap the backing around to the front. Tutorial here. This is a quick and simple way to finish up your quilt.
For years I've dreamed of writing a book about quilting. The type of book that I've felt is completely missing from the quilting world. Â More photos and inspiration, and less technical details and pages of writing. Â I've tried to accomplish that with my first book, which is self published and full of quilts, simple patterns, lots of talk about the quilts... and well, maybe that's enough for this paragraph! Â Visit the blog post for more details!
NOTE! Â My book is now available on Amazon as well!
Wonderful quilt, great colors and I always love the texture of your quilts.
Love it (as usual)!
The pixel backing fabric really suits the tiny blocks at the front 🙂
Superb. That way of binding has been a perennial favorite of mine since I began quilting. I use it almost exclusively for small pieces like mug rugs and doll quilts and un-batted throws. It makes for a lovely binding and pulls that backing fabric right around to the front where it shows itself off nicely. I love what you have done here with this one. What, pray tell, is the name and designer of that delightful backing fabricl
Beautiful! Lovely scraps and i was using some of the pixel print in my rose star epp last night! It's such a great print!
Oh, Jolene. You make me want to rifle through my scraps right now. I can tell my kids are influencing me because I saw your backing and immediately thought of minecraft. Fun!
Thank you for the link to tutorial. It was great as well.
Great quilt! Love the binding!!!
I would love to have your scrap bin! Beautiful quilt.
I just love your color choices.
What an adorable little quilt! Love those blocks in your smaller size.
The backing fabric (those cool little pixels 🙂 ) is a Jay McCarroll print from his Habitat line. It has been out for some time so I don't know where you would find it.
Wonderful quilt! So nice result!
Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
