RPQ Low Volume Quilt ~ A Picture Post

It's been a week of late nights behind the sewing machine, but I just couldn't wait to see the finished quilt.
I've thoroughly enjoyed making this quilt!  I've worked from stash with a focus on using low volume fabrics to balance the much "louder" fabrics and create a simple patchwork quilt with a quiet and delicate color palette. 


I have used many of my all time favorite fabrics in this quilt including some unique hand screen printed cotton/linen blend fabrics, several Liberty prints, Katie Jump Rope, as well a lots of graphic dots and gorgeous Japanese imports.  Too many to name them all ....

The back of the quilt features a patchwork panel through the horizontal center of the quilt and nicely shows the grid created by the quilting lines (quilting time estimate:  6 hours).  The solid fabric is Robert Kaufman Kona in Ash.

A standard RPQ binding.  You can't go wrong with a black and white stripe.

RPQ Style Low Volume Quilt - finished quilt size 60 inches x 72 inches.
I have updated my Etsy Store.  The listing for this quilt can be found here:  Modern Patchwork Quilt SOLD

Gah!  Working from stash is so rewarding and using many of my favorite fabrics to make a quilt is a joy.  I am not at all concerned when using that last piece of much loved fabric.  There will always be another new favorite fabric to stash.

Thank you for stopping by,
