I must have been sleeping..I almost missed the Blogger's Quilt Festival!
It is organized over at Amy's Creative Side, and is a great place to see lots and lots of great quilts!!
Thank you so much, Amy, for doing this!
Of course, I spend way too much time browsing around at all the inspiration there!!
So my entry for this year is one of my favourites...my Salt Air quilt...
It is a simple brick quilt, but I think really features the beautiful colours and pattens of this line. It finished at about 75"x 85".
The backing was from my stash..Urban Cosmos by Prima Style.
I quilted it on my home machine..( yup...all 90" of it LOL !|)... just a large loopy flower pattern all over..
For the binding, I used one of the fun prints..
.....ready made scrappy..love it!!
This was the first time that I tried washable wool for the batting. It was easy to work with, and turned out soft and warm! It is a bit more expensive, but I wanted a warmer quilt, so it was perfect.
Overall I am really happy with this one, hope you like it too!
Finished size: 75" x 85"

ReplyDeleteGreat choice for your entry, Flo! It is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI really liked this one. The wool gives it a really nice loft! And it's a great use of that fabric. :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Flo, I love your quilt. It makes great use of the Salt Air fabrics. I used these in a recent quilt and although they weren't something I would normally have gone for, I love them! The prints are so interesting and the colours play so nicely together. Ps. You are an absolute legend for quilting that behometh on a home machine, and FMQ no less! Go you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteNice work. I've so admired this Salt Air line of fabric and nice to know about the wool bat experience.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous fun quilt and I love the fabric selection. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! Good job on quilting it yourself.
