I'm so excited about this beautiful finish!!
This 100+ year old home is a couple miles from where we live, and made a perfect back drop for a photo shoot.
The family has lived and farmed this land for a century now. The middle school across the street bares the name of it's previous owner.
When I saw this pattern, I just couldn't help myself. All other projects sprawled out in the sewing room 1/2 of the upstairs were put on hold . . .
while a piece of EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF FABRIC I OWN was pulled out temporarily for a quick snip
including a lot of heather ross and other favorites.
It's quilting is very simple . . . in the ditch, and through the centers. I'm noticing more snuggling going on with quilts less quilted, they're softer.
I love my Sweet Sixteen by HQ. I've had it almost 10 years now and have been very happy.
I centered the template where I wanted to on the fabric then used my 28mm rotary cutter, then marked each of those little dots, which came in handy when assembling.
stats:
72 x 84 inches finished BEFORE washing.
templates - Baycreek Quilting Products - 12 inch template
bamboo batting? (I can't remember, but I'm trying to use bamboo for quilts that I keep)
This is such a wonderful, scrappy finish! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteDid you find the templates easy to use? I don't have much experience with curved seams, but these look fairly gentle :)

Oh my goodness, such a treasure!!! I can surely imagine the satisfaction of having this wonderful quilt, made with all your fabrics!!! It is just brilliant, and beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is gorgeous! It's such a good quilt for this scrappy look. Are there directions for piecing included with the templates? Thanks for sharing this! With school starting up again, I am so ready to start some new quilts!
ReplyDeleteI agree, less quilting makes for a much cozier quilt. This one is such a beauty, scrappy and so pretty!
