I really, really love this quilt.
It all started with the fabric, most of which is Bird's Eye View by Sarah Watson of Cloud 9. Sarah's illustrative artwork has always had my heart, and this is definitely one of my favorite collections ever. After buying (most of) this line, I pulled a few coordinating fabrics from the stash to make this bundle.
Then, after seeing amazing 2X4 quilts from Anna and Holly, I knew I wanted to make my own. The tutorial is here by Film in the Fridge and is a perfect way to highlight a fabric bundle like this. It really doesn't need much help, so no need to complicate things!
After letting the finished top sit for six months, I finally made a back and got it quilted last month.
The binding went quickly, and I am so pleased with the finish! I would definitely make another 2 x 4. The sewing is simple and enjoyable, and I love how the fabrics shine!
Finished size is 60" x 79".
I'm going to let this post serve as my March wrap up, too. here are my March yarn and fabric totals.
Third stash update:
Fabric: -13.625 yards
Yarn: -825 yards
Fabric total 2018: -44.875 yards
Yarn total 2018: -3,952 yards
Yes, another successful version of this pattern. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteLove how this looks. Do you have to pay attention to which way you press your seams for this block for joining to the other blocks?
