Fabrics used:
Liberty Lifestyle ~ Bloomsbury Gardens
Robert Kaufman Pure Organic Solid in White
[a perfect combination of fine fabrics]
The Design:
A simple alternating nine-patch design
(Backing Fabric: Valori Wells - Del Hi - Paisley in Red)
Quilted:
Cross-hatched (diagonal straight lines from edge to edge)
through the center of only the solid white squares.
I found no need to mark these quilting lines as I can now - what I call - eye-ball short distances; stitching from corner to diagonally opposite corner in a straight line without tracing a marked line. It helps to keep your eyes focused on your stitching destination point rather than at the needle.
Binding:
My favorite print from the Bloomsbury Gardens collection
Lytton in Rich Red Blue.
The finished size of the quilt: 68 inches x 83 inches.
Finished size of each individual square: 2.5 inches x 2.5 inches
99 Nine-Patch Blocks each measuring
8 inches x 8 inches (incl. seam allowances).
8 inches x 8 inches (incl. seam allowances).
This quilt is already making its way to a new owner.
I have loved making this quilt - a wonderful opportunity for fabric play and repetitive, but never boring, patchwork piecing.
Thank you for stopping by!
