As I shared earlier this week, I quilted this quilt over the weekend. I used a tan/gold Aurifil thread for the quilting in both the top and the bobbin. It's slightly darker than the background fabric, but blends well with the block piece and on the back. I had a perfectly sized Hobbs Cotton/Wool blend batting to use with this quilt too.
A simple meander is sometimes all you need for a beautiful quilt!
For the binding, I used the leftover green fabric from the backing. I had originally set aside a piece of purple fabric for the binding, but liked how the darker green fabric finishes the quilt.
This mushroom print is my favorite of the prints that I used on the back that didn't make it in the top of the quilt. I have set aside all of the leftovers from this quilt for a giveaway -- keep your eyes peeled for that sometime next week!
As an Island Batik Ambassador, I am provided with samples of various lines of Island Batik fabrics, Aurifil thread, Accuquilt products, and Hobbs Batting to use and share with you!

ReplyDeleteI love the quiet shades, I'm saving mine for the perfect pattern. Whatever that may be. Your quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the Ohio stars in the soft, pretty pastels.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this quilt, so soft. I don't think it would have occurred to me to use these colors together.

I love the green, purple, and yellow combination in this quilt! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a quilt with such a quiet pallet. It’s very restful.

ReplyDeleteWhat lovely soft colors. You can't go wrong with scrappy star blocks! Reminds me of your quilt from Stash Bee way back in 2015. Thanks for linking up with Show Me Something Purple.
