Quilt 9- Superlative

When you asked yourself, "Why did I buy this ugly yellow floral print and what am I to do with it?" The answer to that is simple, blended with the nicer fabric you really like.

  It turned out really nice!

LESSON #1

Some fabric for some reason gave a curve in the middle crease, even when it's laid flat, pressed and squared.

Just be aware of it by checking after cutting two strips or so. Square again and again if you have too. Don't use strip or pieces that are curved. It won't disappear after you sew it with another piece.

This pattern seemed more complex then it is. It had 8 different blocks, which repeats twice and of course, I managed to sew one block wrong. Can you see it?

Now it's all right. Time to sew it all together.

This would be a sweet quilt for a young girl.

 What a bold effect you can create with only a few fabric choices with this design.

In fact, all the fabrics the designer suggested were simple for this quilt pattern: Black and aqua prints and a vivid red solid. Being short with my aqua fabric, I dare to add a grey/aqua print to the selection.

Because I added an additional print to the original design, I draw it on paper for further guidance when I'll sew my pieces together. You can do that also if you use an entirely different fabrics for this design.


In all, it was easy to put together. A day quilt if you really wanted it.

Not impressed me with your own fabric prints!
