This was a really different quilt for me — more like the table toppers I make than my quilts. To me, the Polartec fleece batting makes it a feel a little more like a comforter than a quilt, but that’s probably a good thing. The old Everglaze chintz for the backing has been in my closet for ages, and I’m glad I finally found a good use for it. I just hope the person who receives the quilt isn’t put off by all the wild prints (for a view of the entire top, click here).
I didn’t have to buy any fabric for this quilt — even the binding was a leftover from Shirley Temple’s Halloween outfit. It always pleases me when I don’t have to make a trip to the fabric store.
It looks like it will be very cozy for someone!
I think whoever receives it will fall totally in love with it, Martha! It’s so beautiful!
I think it will be very comforting. Practical and beautiful.
You did a wonderful job of making your quilt beautiful and functional. I think it has an oriental feel to it? The backing looks great..and the binding is the perfect color. I’m sure whomever gets this quilt will be very happy to have it for it’s warmth AND beauty!
Beautiful… and what a wonderful thing to do!
I really love all of the wild prints, and I’m sure the recipient will love all of the bright pattern too. Most importantly, I’m certain that they will appreciate t he effort and thought that you put in to providing them with a little bit of comfort by making a quilt for them.
