I completed my County Fair quilt top.
It is queen sized and made from Denyse Schmidt's County Fair fabric line which is deco weight.
I had used pieces of the fabric in projects but have never done a whole quilt in this weight before. It will have to wait until it cools down a little to get quilted because it is a little hot to work with right now since it is heavier that nice crisp quilting cottons. The other thing I found that differentiated it from standard quilting cottons is that it frayed quite a bit more.
The pattern is 1-2-3 from Amy Ellis Modern Basics book. I wish I could comment on the pattern and directions but it is such a simple quilt I basically only used the pattern for the dimensions to cut the pieces.
The stunning pictures of the quilt in the book inspired me as I really wanted to do something simple with this fabric... I love how the top turned out.

I think sometimes a simple pattern is all that is needed to showcase some favourite fabrics. This has turned out so pretty Diane!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Diane!!!
ReplyDeleteIt did finish well, nothing like the ease of a simple one to boost your desire. The fabric looks great in the pattern, too, a good showcase!
