An Organic Finished Quilt


I've updated my Etsy Store tonight with a new quilt addition - pieced using a combination of fabrics from Monaluna Circa 50 by Birch Fabrics, and Cloud9 Organics - Beyond the Sea by Michelle Engel Bencsko.


This was a fun and relatively easy sewing project after the intense piecing of the Lady of the Lake Quilt followed by the gentle voile wrangling of the Little Folks Baby Quilt.


Of course, a fun little boy's quilt is not complete without a colorful and pieced quilt back (with near perfect alignment!):


Almost entirely made from organic fabrics, complemented with some suitable Kona Cottons, bound in a rather more traditional red/white pin stripe binding fabric, and as always, with entirely machine stitched binding for durability.
    

The finished quilt measures 40 inches x 48 inches; a very manageable size for little boys, allowing them to adjust, carry and drag the quilt as needed, from bed, to couch, as picnic blanket, cubby house shelter or wherever else their imagination may take it.
