This month I used my Culcita Box fabrics to make a chevron baby quilt. Like I mentioned, these fabrics are a little outside my comfort zone. As a general rule for myself, I try not to buy fabrics that have a lot of contrast within them. They are beautiful and some people do beautiful things with them, but I tend to have a hard time using them.
But despite being a little nervous about using them, I am so pleased with how the quilt turned out! I ended up omitting the pink circle fabric from the bundle because I wanted something with a little more orange to it, so I subbed in Kona Mango. I also added a black Art Gallery triangle print that I had in my stash.
These are 60 degree chevrons and I quilted it with a random 60 degree grid.
I was happy to find this Katarina Roccella print in my stash for the backing and I used more of the black triangle print for the binding. I stitched the binding down with Perle cotton.
This quilt is now listed in my Etsy shop.
Finished size: 33" x 47"
Fabric: Take Shape by Art Gallery Fabrics
Batting: Quilter's Dream Cotton Select

Love this little quilt the chevron design works very well with the bold colours great job xxx
ReplyDeleteI like the contrasting fabrics and colors. I would use your scraps for prayer quilts I make for my church..
ReplyDeleteThe contrasts are lovely! As a quilter of 40+ years, most of what I do now is scrappy, to use up scraps. But I still buy scraps and fat quarters to add a little extra to my scraps (and keep it fun for me while quilting). Thanks for the giveaway! Deb E / Oregon mdenders@msn.com

ReplyDeleteLove the bold colours and prints in your quilt!!! Would love to play with your scraps!!!
ReplyDeleteThat peach strip is a nice little zip of color. Carolyn in NC
