I thought long and hard about KTQuilts idea to make my little red and aqua house panel into a bed quilt and repaint one of our rooms aqua but then I decided to take the more sane approach and quilt and bind it and call it a doll quilt.
I added a little three dimensional interest with this quilted door, a take off on Nicolette's idea.
The quilt was made using 4 1/2" squares for the houses. The roofs were made by cutting 5 1/4" squares in half diagonally twice. Then I cut 2 7/8" squares in half once for the sky pieces. The finished quilt measures 20 1/2" x 24 1/2."
The backing is a cheery Michael Miller dot. It's in my shop!
This is absolutely adorable! I love the colors as well!

It's just lovely, Amy. And a steal for an original quilt featuring original designed and hand printed fabric!!! I hope someone scoops it up for their little girl's room pronto! You do such beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteAmy, Amy, Amy. Just when I have created my own comfort zone of favorite colors...you dangle these glorious projects in aqua, red and white. It is so invigorating and fresh. I may have to step out of my usual colors and take a dip into these delicious colors. I love your projects and prints.

ReplyDeleteIts a gorgeous house quilt. Your fabric is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I am attempting to make a twin size version for my niece, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how you pieced the houses together. When I cut per your instructions, the roof piece is wider than the house piece. Thanks for any info!
