I've already talked a lot about
constructing this quilt so there's not much left to add...
The quilting was uneventful... Endless rows of straight-lines while binge watching
Catastrophe. Fortunately the drama stayed on-screen, not even a thread emergency.
I had some leftover triangles so I stitched them together and added them to the back. I'm not wasting a bit of this fabric!!!
Gratuitous binding shot because the snails on the tree amuse me...
I must say this is the most snuggly quilt I've ever made - I wish I'd made it queen sized so I could put it on my bed. The combination of cotton lawn fabrics and wool batting makes it absolutely cloud like. Perfect for an afternoon siesta in the hammock:-) Details on my matching
Nap Time pillow are

These are all beautiful fabrics and this quilt is just lovely! I really like the grass green fabrics and binding. :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous quilt! all those colorful triangles!!
ReplyDeleteThat is just gorgeous - it looks almost like an eiderdown it's so beautifully puffy!
ReplyDeleteI am just curious about why you chose wool batting. Will it shrink if it is washed?
ReplyDeleteFor projects like this I like the extra loft of wool batting. I wash it in cold water and let it air dry so I've never had an issue with it shrinking.
Deletethis is super!! It's perfect for a hammock :-) Isn't that fabric so dreamy?! I made 3 baby quilts with bundle of Sleeping Porch recently, and my favorite of them (feel-wise) was the one that also had a lawn backing (the other 2 received thrifted sheet backings) and bamboo batting ~ scrumptious!!
