This Suburbs quilt pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew was also on my list of quilts I wanted to make. The reason I didn’t include it on my earlier blog post is because the top is already completed!
Let me say I love this pattern! It’s so simple, and goes together really fast. I’m pretty sure I’ll be making another one of these sometime.
I went away from my usual zone and did an (almost) all solids quilt. I think it gives it a beachy vibe that’s perfect for a child.
I used a Kona Classic bundle from MadAboutPatchwork, then chose my favorite colors from this bundle.
I made the throw size, which calls for 10 fat quarters or quarter yards to make the houses. Here’s a list of the colors I used from this bundle.
Kona Cottons
Cyan
Lagoon
Bright Pink
Bright Periwinkle
Canary
Tangerine
Flame
Sour
Papaya
Eclectic Elements Subway Signs (the black with white letters)
For the sky, I used Kona Aqua (best sky color!), and the background was Kona Snow.
I’ve decided on a fun backing that will really finish off this quilt, so hopefully I’ll be getting to that soon!
Great color!
This is also on my to do list. But seeing your take on it reveived my interest!! yours is truly amazing. GReat job!
This is so gorgeous! It really screams summer, and I love your color choices. 😀
I love quilts from Cluck Cluck Sew!
Most beautiful and happy quiult! Lovely pattern and your colours are perfect – as you said reminds beach houses! x Teje
Looks fabulous! So cheerful 🙂
That's a neighborhood I'd love in my home.
I have this pattern to make in Christmas fabrics, I need to get cracking on it! Your bright colors are so cheery. I love it!
It's fabulous.
Your number two commentator has been busy today…the same comment was left on my blog 😉 great quilt colours btw
Stunning! I might have to put this on my to do list as well.
beautiful, as always 🙂 Love the addition of that text print.
LOVE this!!! The solids change the look and I love it…it's perfect!
Lovely! And lovely colors, too! I'm curious about the backing…
I used this pattern to make my Christmas quilt using Winter's Lane. Turned out so pretty, I love all of her patterns. Yours is so pretty, I may have to make another!
How very summery!
Cute quilt top. I look forward to seeing what you choose for backing and binding.
Terrific Suburbs quilt! I would love designers to have a page (not Flickr) where any pics of that pattern made could see how wonderfully different the same pattern can look. Yours is delightfully different from my Suburbs and I can only imagine how beautiful is another commenter's Winter's Lane Suburb quilt.
How fun! Great creation.
Good looking quilt! I always add things to my to do list if I finish them too.
Yummy, yummy, yummy! I LOVE this quilt! Quilts with houses or villages or towns are my absolute favorite. I need to make me one.
I am finally catching up on some blog reading and wanted to let you now how much I love your version of this quilt! It looks wonderful in solids, and the subway sign print is just fun!
