No, I’m not cheating on my goal to make all the quilts in Simply
Retro! This one was done earlier, but I just never got it photographed
and blogged.
The fabrics are mainly inspired by the
Morning Walk collection, namely that cute cactus print. It’s made with
the simplest ever ‘pattern’. Just cut your fabric into strips of
varying widths, anywhere from 1.5″ – 3″. Sew them into 10″ squares and
then arrange the 10″ squares however you like.
I chose to turn a couple of the blocks to make the strips run the other way.
The quilt is backed in Kaffe Fasset’s shot cotton, the color Shell. Once again, this makes it so soft and light.
If
you like the cactus print, search for Morning Walk by Leah Duncan. Any
other prints that you’re wondeirng about, just ask in the comments and
I’ll try to answer there so everyone can see it.
Very lovely.
Great quilt!
I like the way you turned some of the blocks. It really adds to the design.
Your quilts all have a certain look I just love! I look forward to your posts! I am a big fan of your work.
Love – as always! What kind of batting do you use?
it's wonderful. It looks so soft and snuggly.
I think that this quilt is charming . . . I love the way you put it together and the fabrics and colors.
