The April Culcita Box fabrics were so much fun to sew with. I struggled a little with what I wanted to make with them and ended up making two different quilts (I am hand quilting the second one, it won't be done for a bit). But I do have the first one to share with you today.
Forgive the upside down quilt. I wanted a pattern that would show off the fabrics and not cut them to tiny pieces. I also really wanted to make a baby quilt with them because they are so bright and happy.
In order to make the Betty Quilt pattern FQ friendly, I made my blocks slightly smaller. It worked out perfectly and just made the quilt slightly smaller.
Since the collection is so colorful, I knew that I didn't want to use white or gray as the background color. I took a small risk and with Kona Ice Frappe. It's not crazy colorful, but I like how it works with the fabrics in the collection.
Once the quilt was quilted and ready to be bound, I ditched my plan to use dark gray as the binding and took another risk. This is Kona Chartreuse.

Gorgeous! I love those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! I bought some of those fabrics to make my daughter a dress but I think it might be a little too crazy. But I love it in a quilt. (And I'm going to have to buy your pattern just to give you a better review!)
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on those fabrics for a few weeks. The Tabby Road fabrics are so bright and cheerful. You've made them into quite the adorable quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! Great colors.
ReplyDeleteHow much smaller did you make your pieces to use with fat quarters?
