The Hazel Quilt in Warp & Weft (again)

A while back, I made a version of my Hazel Quilt pattern in the original Warp & Weft prints (you can see it here). Warp & Weft is an absolutely gorgeous collection by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society - not only are the colors beautiful, but the fabrics are woven so they are wonderfully soft and the texture is just amazing. Honestly, I don't think I can overstate how much I really, really love the fabrics.

So when I had the opportunity make a version featuring the new Heirloom prints in the collection, I said yes immediately. The new prints are a little more large scale and have more of a plaid vibe (which is why they were perfect in this version of the Plaid-ish quilt I made with my leftovers).

You might be wondering: is sewing with woven fabrics different than regular quilter's cotton? Yes, it is and it is a little trickier, but don't let that scare you away! It is thinner and has a little more stretch to it, so it is a little harder to get those points to line up. If you are nervous about sewing with them, starching your fabrics can really help. I prefer not to use starch though and still find them enjoyable.

I generally quilt all of my own quilts, but I actually had this one quilted by Heidi of Piece and Joy Quilting (if you are in the Willamette Valley area of Oregon, she is THE BEST!). When I went to her studio, I had a quilting design pulled up on my phone. Before I had the chance to show it to her, she opened a book and suggested this one - which just happened to be the one I was going to request. Perfect.

The background fabric is one of my favorites - Add it Up. It has just enough going on to make it more interesting than a solid but not so much that it is distracting.

Warp & Weft Heirloom is starting to pop up in shops - I really cannot recommend it enough. And if you would like to make your own version of the Hazel Quilt pattern, you can pick it up in the shop.

    1. Thank you! I think that the feel of the fabric is the best part. It's pretty, but it's so, so soft!
