Valentines Day is not all about hearts and flowers....how about this little quilt for a bit of romance.....
I've had this fabric by Robyn Pandolf for a few years now and intended to make a quilt similar to this with it. When I came across this beautiful digitised panto design, Sheri Berry by Anne Bright I knew it needed a quilt and fabric that would show case the design as a sample for my customers.
Hobbs 80/20 batting with white Metro thread. I mitred the borders and intended to add a scalloped border but instead used a serpentine border as seen on the vintage quilt below....there is also a wonderful tutorial by Margaret Solomon Gunn in the January issue of Machine Quilting Unlimited. That's all bias cut binding but my Serpentine Border is more curvy this the vintage quilt.
Isn't it nostalgic, it reminds me of the Eiderdown toppers we used to have when I was a kid, I still have one of those in the loft......I like this modern version.
At 50x60 inches it looks great as a topper on either a single/twin or double bed or could also be use as a lapquilt or large crib quilt.....love it.....

Gorgeous Kay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilting design and the quilt is lovely! That border is wonderful with its serpentine edge. It just makes the quilt. I'm inspired to try it on a quilt of my own.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design and quilt, Kay. I didn't realize you went computerized. Did you write about your change? I missed it.
