Alisha’s simple wedding quilt

Mar 18

Sometimes we can make quilts that are so simple, yet cool at the same time.

I served in the young women’s organization in my congregation for 4.5 years…and I miss it. Those girls who were 12 and 13 when I started are now graduated from high school and doing wonderful things. One of them recently got married. One of the leaders of the women’s organization in the same congregation, called me recently asking if I could give them some tips about tying a quilt for her. I’ve tied a couple quilts, but I obviously prefer machine quilting. I offered to quilt some fabric instead, and then the women to sit together and bind instead of tie. We found this fun Moda modern background paper fabric, made a couple of horizontal seams and then I quilted it.

I used my Domestic Stitches - Triangles quilting design to quilt it, which is available in my shop. I love how the design looks on this simple modern dashed fabric.

Because there was enough backing, and also to give it a little pop of color…yep, I’m going to call grey a color, it was bound with the backing fabric.
