I had the immense pleasure of working with one of my all time favorite Liberty prints once again over the past couple of weeks. A client requested a custom quilt with this Queue for the Zoo Liberty fabric as the “theme” print, and I went from there. I paired it with this metallic dot from Dear...
Drum roll, everybody! Today’s the day you get to get your hands on Opposites Attract! I thought we’d celebrate its debut with a brand new version of the quilt. What do you think of it in Alison Glass‘s upcoming line, Handcrafted? I’m kind of obsessed with it. This fabric is utterly delicious, and you must...
Hey there! So today I’m showing you something that is altogether new to me. And I’m kind of smitten! Remember this stack of fabric? Well I’ve been working my way through it, and I began with that gorgeous Nano Iro flannel from Jones and Vandermeer. I knew I didn’t want to cut it up, so...
Wednesday was Layla’s birthday. I can’t believe I have a four year old. For some reason, perhaps because I know I’ll have another one in just two months, this birthday has been easier to accept than any in previous years. I didn’t cry. So that’s definitely a first. But perhaps the reason is because I...
Thrilled. Yes. That’s what I am feeling since I get to share Layla’s completed birthday quilt with you today! I’m practically bursting. I showed you this quilt top a few weeks back, and though the quilting was completed in under two days, it sat awaiting the perfect binding for some time. Some things are worth...

Wow- this quilt is perfect in every way. I love your choice of the gold dotted fabric for sashing the Liberty print. I am a big fan of the quilting cotton “Lifestyle” Liberty prints that came out within the last few years- I am dying to know if they’ll be doing it again anytime soon because the prints were gorgeous and affordable!
Love love love! Such gorgeous saturated colours Meredith! Particularly love your hand stitching – perfection!,
so pretty and pink!!
Beautiful, I really love the colours. x
Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the blocks? I’m working on a similar project but can’t seem to get the math right to make the patch blocks match the bigger blocks. Beautiful quilt!!
[…] hope the brand new baby loves her quilt just as much as her big sis loved hers! It was so special for me to be able to make this, and I can say with certainty it is one of my […]
Do uou know the name of this patern?
This is a pattern I just made. I’m happy to tell you all the block dimensions if it helps! The sixteen patch blocks are made up of 16 2.5″ (unfinished) squares that end up at 8.5″ unfinished. The two fabric blocks are made up of a 4.5″ center (unfinished) square 2 2.5×4.5″ (unfinished) strips on either side, and 2 2.5″x8.5″ strips on the top and bottom which also ends up as an 8.5″ unfinished block. I hope that helps!
i AM crazy about Christmas and think this pattern would look great in Christmas fabrics.
I love this!!!! Do you have a pattern?
Thanks,
Tina
No pattern, but a few comments before this I told Michelle just how to make it! :)
What a gorgeous quilt! You did a wonderful job on it!
