I don’t know why this never made it to the blog… at least I don’t think it did. Probably because when I made it up (last summer I think), it went right into use. Here is a little bit of the fabric I used, and I also participated in a vintage sheet swap that helped make up this quilt.
Really, if you’ve never quilted you could still make this quilt. It’s so dead easy. Big blocks, stitch in the ditch, and a nice solid binding. I did take the time to do a hand stitched binding, which gives even a simple quilt a nice finished look.
It’s actually more of a blanket because the batting is flannel instead of actual batting. It makes it so soft and light. Plus easy to fold up and take along. I might do another “quilt” like this with favorite fabrics that I want to see a lot of the pattern. I know I have readers that haven’t quilted at all, but want to. Might I suggest something like this? Give it a try!
simply perfect! great use for those fun sheets… and yes, totally a great “beginner” project for those out there that want to try quilting.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to quilt. I will have to look for vintage sheets at the thrift store and make this one day. It’s so beautiful and looks pretty easy!
I’ve been wanting to do a quilt and this one makes it look manageable! What is the back fabric?
beautiful!! (congrats on baby bennett too!)
bennet, with one t! sorry!
I’ve never quilted, but have been really inspired to. This seems like the perfect starter quilt! Thanks for sharing it!
I’m tempted… very very pretty indeed
