Bloomsbury II Quilt ~ 53 inches x 53 inches
441 squares each measuring 3 inches (including seam allowance)
I love working with fabric scraps! It's so satisfying to create something out of what seems like nothing, those scrappy leftovers. Obviously there was plenty of fabric leftover from my 1/4 yard bundle of Bloomsbury fabric to create a useful and practical size quilt.
I pieced this quilt in a process similar to that described in the Postage Stamp Quilt Tutorial, (with wider ~ 3 inch ~ strips). And I have quilted this quilt in a grid of straight lines outlining seam lines, staying clear of cross-hatching (diagonal lines) so as not to add another graphic element to this already "busy" quilt top.
For the back of the quilt I have used a delicate and low volume print by Valori Wells - Del Hi Paisley in Scarlet.
At this point I normally link up to where this quilt can be purchased. However, on this occasion the quilt was sold prior to completion! I have a feeling this quilt will be much enjoyed by my customer.
It's ready for shipping.
As always, thank you for stopping by!
