Happy Wednesday! Today I have a new quilt to share! I finished it over the summer but only just got photos of it this past weekend. Feels like it's been forever since I've shared a quilt finish.
I don't even remember when I picked up these two Carolyn Friedlander Palette Pick Bundles*, but I know I let them marinate in my stash for a while. Finally this past spring I decided to cut them up and make a large size of my Keep Turning Quilt Pattern. I didn't realize it until I was looking at the photos this morning, but these colors are very similar to the first Keep Turning Quilt that I made. No wonder I thought these bundles would look good in that pattern!

These blocks are so fun to make and take advantage of strip piecing. They really come together quick. I did make a slightly error when working on this quilt. I cut and made blocks and was surprised by how quickly I got them all sewn. When I went to lay out the blocks I realized I had only cut/made enough for the small throw, despite my intentions to make a large! I wasted no time in getting more fabric cut and sewing the rest of the blocks.

This is a nice healthy throw size quilt at 64"x80". I paired the bundles with an older print from Sprinkle by Cotton and Steel* for the background. I like how from far away it just looks like a neutral background, but up close you can see the neon pink sprinkles.
The quilting was done by Katie of Autumn Moon Quilting. I chose one of my favorite quilting designs for it, Malachite. I think this is my fourth quilt I've had quilted in that design. It's just so good!
For the backing I dug deep into my backing stash for this floral from Noe by Erin McMorris*. I wish I would have been able to pattern match the back, but it wasn't meant to be this time around.
I wanted the purple prints in the quilt top to pop, so I chose a purple print from Widescreen by Carolyn Friedlander* for the binding. I used it to back myinterlaced quilt years ago, so I had lots of long skinny offcuts to use up!
I love how this quilt turned out. It felt good to cut up those bundles, and to use some long-term stash for all the rest! I really liked that the bundles weren't just quilting cottons, or prints. There was a gingham mixed in, some solids, a couple metallics and other wovens too. It makes me want to be a little more adventurous when choosing fabrics for future projects. We'll see!

This is beautiful! And I am now thinking this would be a great quilt to possibly use up some charm packs I have stashed around here somewhere!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thanks! The pattern unfortunately doesn't use charm squares! It uses strip piecing, so you need quite long strips. This is a good charm pack quilt option if you're looking for one: https://www.incolororder.com/2023/03/simple-two-color-baby-quilt-tutorial.html
DeleteAnother beautiful quilt! Question-would this pattern work with charm packs? I have a bunch that I would like to use up.
ReplyDeleteThanks! As written, it won't unfortunately! It uses strip piecing, so you need quite long strips. This is a good charm pack quilt option if you're looking for one: https://www.incolororder.com/2023/03/simple-two-color-baby-quilt-tutorial.html
DeleteThank you for answering my question. I have a bundle of fat quarters that may work better. I just love your color combo! Those pink dots brighten the quilt!
