• Kim’s Scrappy Hearts Quilt •
Happy Monday,
I hope your week is off to a great start! I actually love Monday’s. It’s great to get back to my schedule and get things done…although, I do love a great weekend too. Do you like Mondays?
I have such a fun quilt to share with you…
This is Kim’s Scrappy Hearts quilt, the pattern is by Amanda from Jedi Craft Girl and is in her Playful Precut Quilts book. So cute, huh?!?!
Kim used an old Kate Spain precut, and that gorgeous navy makes all of the bright fun prints in Kate’s fabric…POP! Love it so much.
We decided on a aqua thread, which matches the minky backing perfectly. Scroll to the bottom, and you’ll see all that wonderful coziness. I also used my favorite 8020 from Winline Textiles, out of Ogden Utah.
I suggested Patricia Ritter and my Sweet Marmalade design for the quilting…I hadn’t used it yet, and thought it would be adorable, and Kim said YES!! I’m so happy she did, it looks beautiful!
Guess what…Sweet Marmalade digital version is on sale until Wednesday this week, 25% off, at Urban Elementz. Go grab it if you haven’t already, it’s a sweet one for sure.
All this love is actually for one of Kim’s dear friends, who has cancer. There is nothing better than a quilt to wrap up in during treatments or hospital stays. Praying her treatments go well. She’s in the hospital now receiving them. This definitely adds extra meaning to what I do.
So…question…have you ever made a quilt with a darker background? We, and maybe it’s just me, get used to using white, cream, or neutral for backgrounds. I have one quilt that has a denim background on it, which is not as dark as this navy. I love it, and need to do it more often.
I just love all that Sweet Marmalade texture!!
Sweet Marmalade was actually a suggestion from one of my quilting friends, when I asked for design suggestions. We were all over that idea!! Thanks, Jen!
Thank you for being here!! I have oodles of more quilts to share. Stay tuned for some Black Friday sales, coming your way!! Everything in my shop will be on sale.
