Scrappy Liberty Patchwork Quilt

A finished quilt and picture post.
I love a quilt roll!  This is the finished Scrappy Liberty Patchwork Quilt that I was working on last week and it is everything I imagined it to be. I really do love a simple patchwork quilt, and you can't go wrong with a mix of small scale floral prints together with Liberty Tana Lawn  (although I am not sure that this small image of the whole quilt does the gorgeous fabric any justice).


The patchwork squares each measure 2 inches x 2 inches (finished) and I estimate that I have used close to 80 different small scale floral fabrics, although not all are Liberty Tana Lawn (and several are reclaimed vintage floral prints).


I have quilted the quilt with an all over 1 inch grid (intersecting horizontal and vertical lines) and as a result all seam lines have been ditch-stitched. The quilting lines running through the center of each square have been stitched with the assistance of a quilting guide - attached to the walking foot - in an effort to keep the lines nice and straight.

For the back of the quilt I have used the last of my hoarded yardage of the Bouquet design from the Posy Collection by Aneela HoeyUse it or lose it is my motto for 2014.


And I have finished the quilt with a scrappy binding. Scrappy quilt + scrappy binding = my patchwork heaven.
This quilt is for sale and is listed in my Etsy Store.
