QUILTS STATS
Liberty Blues Quilt
The finished quilt measures 60 inches x 60 inches.
A selection of almost 80+ different printed fabrics make up this quilt.
I made 36 16-patch blocks ~ a total of 576 patches of fabric.
(Refer to the Checkerboard Strip Piecing Tutorial for detailed piecing details).
Each finished square measures 2.5" x 2.5".
Fabrics include Liberty of London Tana Lawn, quilting cotton,
and linen blend fabrics.
Background text fabric: Sun Print Text by Alison Glass in black.
Low loft cotton batting ~
Warm & White batting from The Warm Company;
a low loft cotton batting perfect for use with low volume and bright white fabrics.
The last few days I have been working on finishing both my Liberty Blues Quilt as well as my Aerial Grove Quilt. It is not often that I have two or more projects on the go - other than my slow sewing projects and occasionally a "behind the scenes project" that I can't yet show - but for now just the Liberty Blues Quilt is finished. The Aerial Grove Quilt isn't all that far from completion and I hope to be able to show you the finished quilt later this week.
For the back of the Liberty Blues Quilt I have used my go to backing fabric - which I still have some yardage on hand but is becoming increasingly more difficult to re-stock: Newsprint by Carrie Bloomston from the Story collection.
For the binding I have used a navy Tana Lawn print from the Liberty of London Garden of Dreams collection. This fabric complements the quilt and as it is a cotton fabric with a high thread count it is durable as well as silky soft.

| Quilting: I have ditch-stitched all seam lines creating an all over grid of 2.5" squares. |
This quilt was sold prior to listing in my Etsy Store and prior to publishing this blog post. Imagine my surprise when I learned that this quilt will be joining my Worn and Washed Quilt. These two quilts belong together!
