I don’t seem to be doing a great deal of stitching in the last week or so, but today I have kitted up another child’s quilt to take to Scrub Stitchin’.
Once again, it is a rather simple quilt. The pattern is the free One Yard Wonder by Leila Gardunia. I have tweaked the measurements to suit myself again. Instead of thirty 4 1/2” squares, I am making fifty six 3 1/2” squares, so that I can get more variety.
Here are the fabrics I chose. Everything is from stash or my scraps. The main fabric is one that I found at a garage sale a year or so back and I think it suits it perfectly. It will be nice to use some more muted colours in a child’s quilt for a change.
It didn’t take too long to get everything cut, ready to go, including the binding. I’ll work out the backing once it is pieced.
I think I now have plenty to go on with at Baradine. If it all gets done I will be surprised, and if not I will have something ready to just pick up and sew when I get home.
That pick up sure is the perfect piece of fabric for the quilt and I like that you’re used some muted colours for this quilt.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to have plenty for retreat.
It will be adorable with more squares!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to say that I will definitely be to Scrub Stitchin' next year. Hope you are too!
That’s very exciting
DeleteI like the colour selection Janice. I look forward to seeing it in real life.
ReplyDeleteNow I call that ready, set, sew......once the cutting is done the sewing up is very quick. Well done on all your prepping for S/S.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice design for a child's donation quilt, and great that you are all prepared to head off to the retreat.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun quilt....and I love your fabric choices, especially that deep gold.
ReplyDeleteThats going to be so pretty and the alphabet fabric is perfect for it. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link too. I have to make 2 baby quilts. I can use this as a start. Your fabric is perfect.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great project to use up that fabric and lots of little bits too.
ReplyDeleteYou are so organised Janice! The chosen fabrics will make a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeletePerfectly suited to the pattern - though of course any fabric would work....may also keep that one as a "go to".
ReplyDeleteGood to be prepped for SS. actually good to have kits for home sewing sometimes too!
have fun there....will miss the fun & fellowship...I must see if I can organise a Non Attendee Linky party and we can pretend we are there.
You've been busy this month! and I love all your fabrics. I bet you will have a great time at SS!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had the perfect fabric for this quilt. And I'd say this project is the perfect kind to take to a retreat where you may have difficulty focusing at times. :)
ReplyDeleteLove these fabrics too and what a neat little design for a quilt. Happy Stitching from me!
