Barely There Quilt Top Finish

Welcome,

When I posted my finished jumper last week I found this draft post which has obviously been here a while as this quilt is well and truly finished - I'll share the finished quilt soon

I have completed another quilt top.

I am enjoying the movement in the pattern with the mix of rectangles and half square rectangles

There wasn't really a plan for this, instead I spent quite a bit of time moving blocks around on my 'design floor'

The fabrics used were from the first ever bundle I bought at the beginning of the year with fabrics by Rosalie Dekker, I fell in love with the muted teals, greys and pinks straight away

This was my first time sewing with half square rectangles, sewing them together was no problem, but I hadn't taken into account that the shorter edge would need a wider seam allowance to allow the points to match up!

The quilt finishes at 45 x 54 inches
made up of 216 blocks finishing at 2.5 x 4.5 inches
There are 153 rectangle blocks and 63 half rectangle blocks

Now I just need to find a suitable backing fabric and quilt it!

Thanks for popping by

Trip Around The World Quilt Finish

Welcome!

I have finished my Trip Around The World Quilt and I love it!  I need a larger version for my bed!

This quilt has been made using a combination of soft pinks, blues, greens and greys using the Trip Around the World Quilt Method

I goes against my grain not to have everything symmetrical and organised, but you will see that each block has blocks of each of the 4 colours

I quilted the quilt using straight lines going diagonally through the squares and added additional straight line quilting at the edges, I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I have backed the quilt with a soft pink flower fabric and a contrasting white stripe

I love the combination

The quilt finishes at 45 x 45 inches with 1.5 inch finished squares
