Liberty Tana Lawn Baby Quilt

The Weekend in Stitches
Satisfying a need to use my stash of Liberty of London Tana Lawn fabric as well as a need for teeny tiny patchworking  - although not all that small with each each finished square measuring 2 inches x 2 inches.   In additional to working with my stash of Liberty Tana Lawn I have also used a selection of complementary quilting cottons.  


A random layout assisted by the occasional passerby and cross breeze ...  my design floor is doomed but wall space is limited and I hesitate to block natural light from windows.  I will have to continue to take my chances and accept such "interferences".  I am not complaining.


For the back of the quilt I have used a dainty floral print from the recently released collection by Aneela Hoey - Posy ~Bouquet in Daisy.  It's no secret, I love this particular print and have added yardage to my fabric stash.  You'll see it make a regular appearance for some time to come.


I have quilted this quilt with edge to edge diagonal lines (cross-hatched) which has given the quilt a lovely drape and added softness to the already luxurious and Liberty Tana Lawn fabrics.   For a better idea of scale the quilting lines are approximately 1.25 inches apart.
Binding fabric - again King's Road (in Lemon) from the Carnaby Street collection by Pat Bravo.

I have updated my Etsy Store.  You'll find the listing for this quilt here:  Modern Baby Quilt.  SOLD


Thank you for stopping by,
