KID QUILT #8 - MAPLE ISLAND BY REBECCA LATHAM

For this quilt, I used this collection of Fall prints, called "Maple Island" by Moda. There were forty-two strips, with only a few repeats. Each strip measured 2.5" x 42".

 

This Jelly Roll friendly Log Cabin quilt was made using the pattern found at the Jordan Fabric Youtube channel. The log cabin blocks were made from 35 of the strips in the set. If I had thought of it sooner, I could have used the leftover strips for the binding!  Oh, well!  More fabric for my ever-growing stash!

 

The backing is a pale, mottled beige flannel and was purchased from JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts Store.  I also bought the fabric for the border and binding there. 

 

The finished size of the quilt is 53" x 73".

 

 

 

 

I used Warm and White batting, also purchased from JoAnn. The digital quilting design is called "Pumpkin Vines" and can be purchased from Anne Bright Designs. The thread I used was YLI Light Brown cotton.

KID QUILT #3 - 2WENTY-THR3E BY REBECCA LATHAM

 

For this quilt, I used a fabric collection called "2WENTY-THR3E" by Moda. There were 42 strips, with only a few repeats. Each strip measured 2.5" x 42". For the border and binding, I used yardage from JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts Store.

The pattern for this quilt is called "Parquet" and a friend showed me a block, but she had lost the actual pattern itself, so I had to be a little creative. My friend told me to use colors randomly, but that really goes against the way my brain is wired, so I used Excel and carefully planned out each piece. As you can see, I really, really pre-planned this project! I wanted to be sure that no two fabrics that touched were the same!

 

This is the Excel spreadsheet I labored over to make sure that no like fabrics touched each other in the quilt.

The backing is a mottled yellow/gold flannel and was purchased from JoAnn. The finished size of the quilt is 52" x 72".

 

 

 

I used Warm and White batting, also purchased from JoAnn.  The digital quilting design is called "Lockets" and I purchased it from Urban Elementz. The thread I used was YLI Pastels.
