A Modern I Spy ~ Low Volume ~ Quilt

A Quilt in Pictures.


A custom order for a little girl who I undoubtedly will enjoy this story quilt (a smaller version repeat of this low volume quilt).


So many of my favorite fabrics have been used to make this quilt; some old and now hard to find, some older still - vintage upcycled floral bed linens - and many more recently released fabrics.  Included also are various types of fabrics including slightly heavier weight linens and linen blends. 


Quilted with simple straight lines, only outlining seam lines.  I say "only" but don't be fooled into thinking that this is ever a quick process.   It is however an understated look for a quilt that doesn't require any more detail, and serves it purpose well. 


The back of the quilt features a red polka dot on a white background:  (from the Delilah Collection by Tanya Whelan).  For personalized label information see here:  Labels


A standard and non-intrusive grey and white striped binding fabric by Lecien. Not an adventurous choice for binding fabric, but I don't think this quilt called for anything other than the expected. 


I have thoroughly enjoyed making this quilt - an opportunity for fabric play is always welcome! 

Ready for shipping.

Thank you for stopping by,
Rita
