Quilt by EschHouseQuilts, via littlenestbox on pinterest.
Ages ago I made this quilt. For a first attempt, I'm pretty pleased with it. I used a recycled batting in the middle and it is surprisingly warm and comforting. It has lived with us on the sofa, and has also accompanied us on our camping trips. But, I don't love the colours in our living room.
I think it's time to start a new quilt. The quilt above is my inspiration. I love the idea of simplified houses, so I'm going to use solid fabrics and reduce the colour palette to black, grey and white. Obviously, I have no idea how to make these house blocks but hopefully with a bit of fiddling I can figure it out!
I pin so many quilts and textiles to my pinterest board. I also love this quilt by MerMag, so clever to create blocks in the shape of cats. Merrilee has very helpfully included a tutorial if you fancy making it yourself. I think it would be so cute in a smaller version as a baby blanket.

I also love the colour fade on this quilt by Bonjour Celine, but look how many tiny squares were needed to create it... eek! Well worth it though. Perhaps I can take some inspiration from it for my next quilting project!

I love the shades of grey in these quilts. I'm sure you could replicate the colourfade effect in the last quilt with bigger squares.
ReplyDeleteI think your first quilt is pretty amazing! I've only made one and it's full of mistakes. Lets just say I learnt a lot from it!
I think you're right about bigger squares, might have to give it a go! Thank you, it was certainly a learning curve! I'm sure your quilt is lovely, there's something very satisfying about making it yourself even if it isn't perfect! x
