I finished this quilt top in spring and is one of the three that I had long arm quilted. Don’t you just love the quilting pattern she helped me choose? I like how it gives a nice modern contrast to this soft and sweet quilt.
The quilt top is made from a fat quarter bundle of Summerlove by Art Gallery Fabrics. It’s a rare day that I buy a fat quarter bundle of a collection. This was one of those that I loved for a long time before deciding that it was one of those special ones that I still liked after months of seeing newer collections.
The colors in this collection just speak of a summer day at the beach, so maybe that’s why this prairie girl found it so attractive. Anyways, I finally purchased a bundle of the whole collection and let it marinate on my shelf for awhile.
Eventually I used part of it to make this simple plus quilt. I didn’t use a pattern, but if you’d like to make a similar design with a pattern, here’s one called Cascade Quilt.
If you like this fabric collection, I purchased it at Moona Fabrics and it’s still available. Link here and here. (Each of these listings is just half the collection so you’d need to purchase both colorways.) You may also notice that the quilt top included a cream colored text print which is not part of this collection. It just worked it’s way in to the quilt somehow:)
I also ordered a yard of my favorite print to add to the back. I like the back on this one almost as much as the front!
What beautiful colours! The text print addition is perfect. Love the quilting design too, I haven't seen that one before.
Really pretty! Love the white space!
I love this! This is a collection that I also watched for a while before purchasing about a year ago. Funny how some collections stick with you…
It's really gorgeous!
So so pretty!!
Beautiful, as everything you do is!

I believe this is the prettiest plus quilt I've seen so far. Summerlove was a great choice of fabrics.

I love everything about this quilt. It's just yumminess! I've pinned it so I can remember that cute style of quilting. What a gorgeous little treasure! -Letty
You have really captured summer in this quilt – the colors are perfect and I really like what you've done with not filling every area with print. Lovely!
Beautiful colors…. And great quilting design……
I LOVE this! All of your quilts have such a vintage feel…I love them all!
This was a collection that stood out to me too. And it still is gorgeous. Great use of negative space!
Lovely…feels so beachy!
your quilts always seem so soft and cuddly
I love the cream colored text fabric that you've used down the one side, very creative!
So soft and beautiful.
Gorgeous! Somehow you get such a soft look even when you mix those lovely bright sherbety colors in the mix! Love this.:)
i just LOVE your plus quilts! this one is so, so pretty. is it still available? or where did it go? if you can still get the fabrics i might need to talk to you about one of those custom orders you mentioned. let me know if it's possible!
That's pretty. I really like the colors and love the quilting.
