Instructions

Have fun with your fabric selections!

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Unisex

Style: Traditional


Materials

100% cotton quilting fabric.

What was your inspiration?

Laurie Shifrin was in town and I wanted to take a class from her. This was one of the classes that she was offering, so I signed up! Because I love black and white fabrics and love adding just a whee bit of color to it, I had to try it with this pattern. Lime green is one of my favorite colors to play with so I went with it and I love the results.

What are you most proud of?

Laurie used a bias technique to make the little curved flanges in this design. I used the lime fabric for these. This is one on the only times I have ever used bias stems!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Once again use your imagination and have fun with the fabric!

Perfect! I too love black & white with just a splash of color. Thinking of grays with orange accent.

Thank you! If you like orange, check out my other black and white and orange project called Wheelies. This may be right up your alley... ;)

Love it! I wear lime al the time; next quilt, I NEED to quilt with it, and summer break is coming up! I have done bias in apparel, but not quilting. Is it appliqued?

Thank you! No, the bias flanges are actually sewn right into the quilt. I think if you click on the last photo at the bottom and scroll over you may be able to see it better. Not sure though. Isn't lime a great color?

Thanks, Jackie! That looks really easy - just like piping around a collar. I could do that.....
