Quilt Reveal: Pajamas Doll Quilt from High Road Quilter

 


It's time for another Project Quilting reveal! The challenge of this week is Wearables.

Your project must be wearable, or have been made from previously worn items, or have another connection to clothes, shoes and fashion accessories.

I gave myself two choices: 

  1. Make a blouse that I have been planning to make for a very long time. I already have the pattern and the fabric chosen.
  2. Make a quilt out of all the pajamas I have been saving to make a quilt.

Kaffe Quilt Finish from Wedding Dress Blue

I had a lot of Kaffe scraps (along with some solids) and wanted to make a very cheering quilt for a coworker.

The finished size is 60×80 and uses all 2-1/2″ squares–1200 in all. Colored: 600. Background: 600 (That equals about 2-3/4 yards of each.)

This idea is easily adapted to any color scheme and is good for using all those small-but-not-too-small scraps that result from everyday quilting.

And a scrappy binding. And a suitable back.

Ta-dah, a quilt

Black And Bright Top Complete from Wedding Dress Blue

It started as a color experiment.  My black and white scraps were overflowing, as were the solids.

Not a bad combination.

It seems a little too much like other designs I have done recently, but I ran out of scraps before it could go further.

The binding will be scrappy solids to mirror those pieces in the quilt.  I hope to quilt it in the next few weeks and we’ll see how it looks as a finished piece.

68″ square.  Not very big, but as big as I could go with what I had. And that is OK.  Nice ...
