Hello there!
I finished this lovely quilt a few weeks ago and finally got to photograph it. This quilt began a as stack of layer cake cuts gifted to me by a dear friend. She had sent the fabric in the mail: and as I was opening the package containing the fabric I was chatting to my husband and I said -oh this fabric is lovely! I wonder what should I make with it? to which he quickly replied: “you should make me a quilt!” -He rarely asks for a quilt of his own, so I quickly began thinking of a pattern. I wanted to showcase the prints and create a somewhat sleek design; thus a settled for a lattice design. I decided to use a contrasting fabric and I love the sort of 3D effect that it gives.
To create the blocks I used the “slice and insert” method usually used for improv quilting but I tried to be precise with the piecing (and lots of pinning). It was easy and really fast to create the blocks and not paper piecing need.
For the quilting I used a straight line pattern 1 inch apart. I’m really happy how it turned out and my husband has been using since I gave it to him (I think he likes it too :))
Until next time!
