St Ives in Progress

Way back in November last year I was sent a bundle of St Ives by Sarah Fielke for Lecien as featured in Sunday Stash #120.  This bundle of fabric has been patiently sitting about awaiting for inspiration to strike.


Since then I've seen some lovely projects made from a variety of these prints but have in particular been taken by the Cherry (red/pink) color palette of the St Ives collection as featured in the free pattern designed by Sarah Fielke for Lecien:

Made in Cherry is a free quilt pattern available for download here:  Lecien ~ Free Patterns.


Inspired by Cherry color palette of the St Ives collection I have commenced a new quilt project; something relatively simple so as to feature the colors and the prints.


I think this quilt top needs some interesting quilting to jazz it up, and having just completed two large quilt projects I am really looking forward to quilting this smaller quilt (50 x 50 inches).

Red and Pink ~ just in time for Valentine's Day!

I suspect it is going to be a quilty weekend!

More soon,
Rita

  1. I know it isn't finished, but I think it needs something to lift the bone colour .. maybe lime green?

  2. This fabric line has grown on me and I too love the Cherry. I particularly like the way you have alternated your solid fabrics. Look forward to seeing the quilting. Happy Stitching. Susie
