It's very cool to get a look at the whole quilt making process - from the inspiration to the final product. I love how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteHow wide are those skinny stripes--1"? or less?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh wow--LOVE this! Thanks for showing how the inspiration came about--that was really cool!
ReplyDeleteRenae, I think they are 1 inch but I can measure for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great quilt! Thanks for showing us your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulously cozy looking quilt, thanks for sharing your inspiration! And speaking of inspiration, have you discovered the great quilting links at www.WeAllSew.com?
ReplyDeleteI just finished a quilt top today that was inspired by this post. I used some of my vintage sheet collection - I am LOVING IT!!!!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for posting your talents. :)
Beautiful! I've pinned it on pinterest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastically beautiful and simple quilt. I love how you showed the inspiration pieces and your final product. So inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI know this post is from forever ago, but I am dying to make one of these quilts! Did you buy enough fabric to cut the entire length of one strip from one piece, or did you piece smaller colored strips together somehow? What size did this finish? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteNo, the strips are pieced together. And I think it finished around 54" x 70"
DeleteThank you! I sent an email too, I wasn't sure if you'd see the comment - so just ignore that! Did you just piece all of them at the same spot, like in the middle? Or was it more random? I'm wondering if it'd be best to have two seams so the strips are divided in thirds? Thanks again!
DeleteSeams were down the middle on some and other the seam was on the left or right side. I wasn't too picky about all that, but I knew I didn't want them all down the center.
DeleteCould you tell me what type of batting you used? This quilt looks so light and flowy. I'm just wondering if it is cotton, or polyester? or maybe you have a favorite brand of batting to use for quilts? Thanks a ton!
ReplyDeleteHi, I used warm and natural cotton quilt batting. I purchased mine at Joanns (so I can use my coupon). It is available in bright white and cream. I always buy the bright white.
