hello Thursday!
welcome to the next stop on the Sanibel Blog Tour!!
my name is Brooke and if you are new here….I hope you will stop back by from time to time…
if you stop by often, then you know you are in for a treat!
today I am excited to share with you a fun lap quilt I made with this bright and cheery fabric line…
the variety of prints in this line will brighten any grey day!!
let’s get started…
my first step was to separate the floral prints from the rest of the line…
I cut 5 inch squares from the prints
and sewed them into four patch units
you will need a minimum of 18…sew more to have more variety to chose from…
I cut 9.5 inch squares from each of the floral prints
you will need at least 18 of these too
I alternated four patch block with a floral block
six squares across and six rows down
I sewed my blocks into rows and then the rows together…
one pressing tip…when sewing the blocks into rows, I pressed my seams toward the floral block
here is my finished top…you can also see the fabrics I selected for my back…
love, love the all over design my long arm quilter did!!
I used a variety of fabrics for the six binding strips…
and done!
the quilt finished at 54 inches square…
you could easily add or take away squares to change the size…
this quilt was a gift for my SIL’s birthday…she loves it!!
so here is the fun…
I am giving away 2 charm packs!!!
leave me a comment to enter…I will draw a winner on Sunday, April 12th
