I was attracted to this quilt a year or so ago when Keepsake Quilting was having a 50% off sale on kits. This is one of three four patch patterns by Bonnie Sullivan in a booklet called All Through The Night. I could have easily purchased a jelly roll and background fabric for less, but whatever. Sometimes I don't think things through all the way, but at least it was on sale.
The Flannel fabrics are from the Woolies line, printed to look like suiting, houndstooth, and checked wool fabrics. For the backing fabric, I chose not to do flannel. As much as I love flannel, it does make a quilt heavy. I found a great homespun on sale that I think works well with the Woolies.
I'm thinking if I had put the quilt on our grass for a picture, the colors may represent better, but I'm not a professional photographer so this will do :) This quilt will be used as a throw in the trailer, hopefully we'll be able to go camping in it soon!
I love everything about this quilt. The simple 4 patches, the quilting, the back. It just looks so cuddly and toasty. Good job Girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteThis is cool Mel! Sometimes yes, you can get things cheaper, but there is a to to saying everything you need is in the kit and ready for you! I love it!
