Bloomsbury Quilt.
9.16.2015
I've been meaning to share this sample of my Bloomsbury Quilt pattern with you for awhile now. It's a very late gift for a friend of mine who got married last fall. I used mostly Cotton & Steel fabrics with some Carolyn Friedlander prints mixed in. I hope my friend likes the bright and scrappy look!
I used some Essex yarn dyed linen in two different colors for the background fabric, which probably doesn't surprise you since I use it all the time! I just love the extra texture and softness it gives to a quilt.
It's quilted in a loose crosshatch pattern, which was kind of a pain to mark on the quilt (I used a hera marker as usual) but I'm happy with how it looks finished.
It's bound in a favorite green Cookie Book print by Kim Kight, and backed in a pretty teal print from Carolyn's Doe collection.
You can find the Bloomsbury Quilt pattern in my shop, here!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift, I am sure your friend is going to adore this wonderful quilt! Love the dresdens.
ReplyDeleteLove all the different color combinations samples you made with you Bloomsbury pattern...it really helps....really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and think it would look fabulous created out of my liberty stash, however it think I want it a little bigger than 60 x 60. Does your pattern have detail on how to enlarge it or do you have any ideas so the original layout isn't ruined by just adding borders?
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! The fabrics, colours and design all work together in an amazing way. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love this!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! It looks like something you would find at Anthropologie :)
