Simple, straight line quilting made quick work of getting this quilt finished over the weekend.
Made from a jelly roll of Madrona Road by Violet Craft, this quilt contains a piece of every fabric in the collection. I also added strips of Kona Cotton in white and ash to break up all those prints.
Sized for a small child, it measures 42" x 49".
I realized after I started putting the top together that the design echoed one of the prints, aptly named Broken Herringbone. It was the natural choice for the back. The black and white striped binding picks up all the black tones in the fabrics.
As always, the binding is machine stitched and I used my favorite method of gluing it down first. This photo shows the stitching along the front binding edge, catching it along the back edge. Works every time!
I really enjoyed sewing the herringbone design and would like to make it again with a more deliberate placement of the prints, rather than the random placement in this quilt. Hmmm...and maybe a tutorial, too.
Happy Sewing,
Tessa Marie
It's such a lovely quilt...I'm sure that you're excited to have completed it! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this quilt. I'd love to be able to do a better job with machine sewing my binding on...any chance for a tutorial on how you do it??
ReplyDeleteWow I love this so much! A tutorial would be fab :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! A quilt like this has been on my list for a couple months now. Maybe in March? I love the straight line quilting with the design too--neat variety from the more expected (at least to me) echo quilting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! The straight line quilting sets it off beautifully!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a tutorial for this quilt! And I think the placement of the fabric looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out great Tessa, your quilting sets it off nicely and I love the black and white binding. I can never make my machine binding look so nice though. Maybe I should try your glue trick!
