As promised a picture post of my finished
Spools and Nine Patch Quilt. I do love how it has turned out; I love the bright colors, that the fabrics were pulled entirely from stash, and whilst in progress unplanned changes were made - adding the alternating nine-patch block - that affected the final quilt layout and added so much interest to the design.
As usual the quilting has added minimal visual detail but that is not to say that this quilt is lightly quilted. I have ditch stitched all vertical and horizontal seam lines, effectively creating an overall 2 inch grid of intersecting straight lines, and thereby adding a hint of texture. I generally use a low loft cotton batting
(Matilda's Own brand) which leaves the quilt with a lovely soft drape and a supple finish.
For the back of the quilt I have used a single red polka dot fabric on a white background from the
Delilah collection by Tanya Whelan. This classic fabric has been in my stash for a while and I must have purchased close to a bolt of it as I have used it as a backing fabric a number of times.
And I have finished the quilt with a
black/white stripe fabric and
machine stitched binding. I am consistent and predictable.
This quilt was listed for sale in my
Etsy Store. It has already sold.
