Ruffled Riley Argyle

Really cool things about this quilt:

This quilt was made 100% from stash. Fabrics are: Riley by Anna Griffin and Bella Solids Bleached White for the argyle background, Playing in Spotzville by Jan Mullen for the ruffles, and Wee WoodLand by Keiki for the binding. I used a leftover scrap of batting (Dream Orient bamboo, of course) and "settled" for quilting it with thread (Aurafil 1231) I already had on hand.


The pattern is Diamond in the Ruff by the fabulous Vanessa of V and Co. and was published in Quilts and More, Spring 2011.


This quilt makes me insanely happy!

If you decide to make one for yourself Omnigrid makes an 8 1/2" x 24" ruler. It's worth the "splurge"!  Also, I made my ruffles using bias to cut down on the fraying and used my ruffler foot to ruffle them and then just cut them to the length I needed to fit on the quilt.
 
And since it's a Friday finish, I'm linking up with :

    I love the idea of putting the ruffles instead of regular sashing. How cute!

    Did you put the ruffles on after quilting? The pattern has you add ruffles then borders and then quilt it, but how would one quilt it with the ruffles already on it?
