Instructions

I took 3 different fabrics and cut them 3 1/2 " wide by the length of the fabric (~45" long) sewed them together, then cut them into even squares. [You will have to do this several times, depending on how large you want the quilt to be]. Measure the width of the 3 sewn pieces (~9"- then cut the square to be 9"). You may trim down by placing square on rotary cutting board and use rotary cutter ...

Style: Casual, Classic, Funky, Preppy


Materials

Cotton material, satin for the middle stripe and binding, two-sided pre quilted material for the back, high loft polyester batting, thread, sewing supplies & tools.

What was your inspiration?

My cousin wanted me to make a quilt for her niece - so I showed her some of the quilts I made in the past and asked her if she liked a certain style and she picked this style - and the original one I had was in pink and seashells - she asked for these colors and the blue/teal satin stripe...and here it is! It measures 65"w x 81.5 " L.

What are you most proud of?

That she really loved it!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It's not a difficult quilt - the only thing is the size - if it was smaller, it'd be easier to make. This is a really heavy quilt, good for those cold winter nights. I made sure that I double sewed the seams and when quilting, I sewed on top of the satin stripe.

Deena, this is a wonderful job.The satin made the design classey & thanks for the tip of top sewing the satin stripe! I have done the zigzag pattern for a baby quilt. It is an easy design to work with and its variables.

How much of each fabric did you get?

Well, I always buy more than I need - just to be sure to have enough and if I want to make othre things to match - like pillows. So, normally I get a yard of each fabric. But the back is more like 5 yds.
