This was my first dive into my rather large Denyse Schmidt stash. I avoided cutting into the precious fabric for so long that it started to get ridiculous. And I am so glad I did cut into it because surprise, surprise 'Katie Jump Rope' looks a lot better in a quilted rather than folded form on the shelf.
This was a fun quilt to make and not very taxing on the brain as it basically put itself together. There wasn't much thinking about colour or block combinations. I just took the bundle, cut, sewed, arranged and sewed a bit more. Just what the doctor ordered.
I love the combination of the print with the
'Painters Canvas' solid from Laura Gunn as it adds a little texture to the whole affair.
I quilted in double diagonal lines with a 40 w Aurifil off-white thread.
The back is again a print from one of my favorite lines, 'Summersville' by Lucie Summers which I think fits this quilt wonderfully.
I chose a stripy number in black and white for the binding to give a little vavavoom. This baby quilt is 48" x 55.5" (1.22 m x 1.41 m) in size and can be found in my on-line shop under
this listing.
Love it! The colours are so pretty!
