Sunday Stash #310 Katie Jump Rope by Denyse Schmidt

Katie Jump Rope by Denyse Schmidt 

for Free Spirit Fabrics

A reprint of the popular Katie Jump Rope collection and now my fabric world is complete. This is where it (my love for fabric) all began. Way back in 2007(?) when the Katie Jump Rope collection by Denyse Schmidt was first released (with more than 30 prints) it felt like I had found MY kind of fabric; fabric that I was instinctively drawn to and enjoyed working with. Katie Jump Rope together with the original Flea Market Fancy collection (also by Denyse Schmidt) drew me in to the world of patchwork and quilting and I haven't looked back. 

So you can only imagine my excitement to see eighteen of the best selling designs reprinted. The colors are bright and modern and are contrasted with clean and fresh feedsack designs that include checks, dots, and floral prints ranging from small to medium scale in design.

Katie Jumpe Rope Quilt ~ Bento Box Quilt

It's done!

The quilt measures 60 inches x 72 inches

Complete with a pieced backing and hours of quilting straight lines.  Most of the quilting lines were straight lines on either side of a seam line, or diagonal lines through the large blocks.  I also ended up doing some "in the ditch" quilting which still requires a high level of effort and concentration!

The binding fabric is a Katie Jump Rope stripe in Orange:

And there was lots of it (machine stitched, as usual):

I have thoroughly enjoyed piecing this quilt, choosing the fabrics, preparing the blocks, cutting and rearranging them until I was happy with the layout.  I can highly recommend this easy piecing design.

My Etsy Store has been updated and you can find the listing for this quilt here.  SOLD

Thank you for stopping by,
