Lunar Dust and Frog Ponds

I have again been sidetracked, this time by one of my purchases at the Melbourne Craft and Quilt Fair last month. I bought some gorgeous solid fabric from Reece Scannell. They are a Sydney based company selling high quality cotton fabrics that have a silk-like reflective sheen.

Their solid fabrics are soft, light-weight and their color range is extensive. Their fabrics are available only in single packet lengths of 19 inches x 36 inches, and I purchased two pieces in colorway 56 Lunar Dust. It is a grey fabric, but with a texture not unlike that of linen.

Several of the fabrics that I had set aside for this little quilt featured frogs and the rest of the printed fabrics were picked to compliment the overall frog pond theme.

Finished Quilt Size: 24 inches x 31 inches

The back of this baby quilt is also pieced using some of the same printed fabrics as in the quilt top and the all of the remaining solid grey fabric.

I keeping with the overall light-weight feel of the quilt top and backing I used QuiltLite as a batting. I have used this product in some of my previous quilts, and can described it best as a very loosely woven flannel fabric.

I love using this product as it makes for a really drapey and thin quilt. This quilt is more like a thin light-weight blanket and is definitely soft enough to use as a baby wrap.

This little frog pond was quilted with straight vertical lines just over 1 inch apart, and bound (by machine!) in a light green floral Japanese print. It is now for sale in my Etsy Store.
