Seaside Quilt
Good morning! I always love it when I can start the day with a quilt finish. This little one is a pattern from Camille Roskelley's book, "Simply Retro". I used the wonderful "Seaside" by October Afternoon for Riley Blake. The solid is linen and the back is a Denise Schmidt print from JoAnn Fabrics. One of the things I love about this quilt is that you can use a yard and a quarter fabric for the back and it doesn't have to be pieced. I hand quilted it with perle cotton No. 8. Have a wonderful day! I'm off to play in the fabric.
Smiles,

Beautiful and I really like the backing! How was the linen to work with? I've heard it can be shifty and hard to control.
ReplyDeleteIt's really pretty and the colors remind me of a quilt one might find on a chair at a vacation cottage.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so nice! Very nice quilting too
ReplyDeleteOh I love this!! It's sooo beautiful! Lovely colors, have fun playing! xo Holly
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is just precious. I love churn dash blocks... I have the book but your choice of fabrics makes me want to go order some RB fabric and make it now!
ReplyDeleteLove it ! Has that vintage look to it I prefer! Wonderful job. I am loving the new 'designer fabrics' at Joann's these days.

ReplyDeleteI just completed the same quilt top this weekend at a "Sit and Sew" I went to. I used different fabrics of course but I had not thought about hand quilting it. I really like the way yours turned out.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I love this one! blessings, marlene
