This is a single bed (twin) quilt made using my "I Spy a Charm" pattern, which is based on my popular "On Nanny's Lap" pattern. The block borders are very bold in this quilt, much bolder than in either of the "On Nanny's Lap" quilts I made which you can see here and here.
It uses many of the fantastic Charley Harper prints, and I will definitely be making many more quilted items using these prints.
I quilted the negative space in an all-over meandering, and left the blocks unquilted. I may have to do some sort of quilting in the blocks, to make sure the batting doesn't misbehave. Does anyone have any experience with batting shifting over time due to not enough quilting?
The back uses left over bits and bobs framed in the same dark brown as the front.
The pattern is in it's final stages of testing and will soon be available in my Craftsy store. If anyone is interested in testing this pattern, or my Wonky Pods pattern, please email me. I'm hoping to have more pattern reviewers (a reviewer proof-reads the pattern but may not make the quilt) and pattern testers (a pattern tester would make either a block or the whole quilt) go through it before releasing it.

ReplyDeleteI love the bits added to the back!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful quilt. I love how the borders make the individual blocks stand out, and the pops of red in the single block border and the binding are really stunning.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great quilt design to highlight the fabrics used.
ReplyDeleteI was really liking the front and then you flipped it and showed us the back, goodness I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteCharley Harper prints are some of my favorites. They work well with your quilt. Nicely done!
ReplyDeletethank you! Did you know you are a no-reply blogger?
DeleteLovely! I tend to work with batting that can either be unquilted for 8"-10", so I would suggest finding out what your batting calls for. I like the bold black borders - beautiful framing!
