I am rather pleased to say that my Worn and Washed Quilt is finished (see work in progress and fabric details here), not only because I learned so much from the process and from stepping outside of my comfort zone, but also because with each step I came to love this quilt a little more ...
... especially once it was quilted. I did worry about how all of the different fabric types would wash together, so rather than ponder that thought for too long I immediately washed the quilt (in the washing machine - front loader, short wash, gentle cycle), and dried it in the tumble dryer. All this after midnight of course, for I could not wait till the morning to see the crinkle and the texture. It was worth the wait, and any concerns that I may have had regarding the use of different fabric types were allayed.
For the back of the quilt I have used a single fabric from the latest Cotton + Steel release (Coffee Shop in Orchid - Lucky Strikes collection by Kim Kight) which works perfectly with the colors and tone of this quilt. It also is one of my favorite prints from this range and I had stashed yardage just for this purpose.
Left over pieces of fabric have been pieced together to make the binding for the quilt. I do love a good scrappy binding, especially when it includes pieces of dainty floral Liberty Tana Lawn.
This quilt sold prior to listing in my store
and is already on the way to the new owner.
