Well done to those that correctly guessed the location for the pictures of Oscars quilt in that post; those photos, and these ones were taken at the amazing Chatsworth House (which was used as Pemberly in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice).
Today I get to share some more pictures of the beautiful house and gardens under the guise of showing you another baby quilt; this one was a gift for baby Kyle. I really hope that Kyle uses and loves this quilt as much as his big sister does her quilt.
I absolutely love the fabrics I used, a combination of ants and woodpeckers, and some 'filler' fabrics (mostly variations on spots and stripes, as that's my MO, fabrics shown here). I showed you this quilt top last September, but only quilted it more recently. I made a basic design where I cut each fabric into two strips and one square, and pieced the square into a random spot cut in the strips.
The back is a blue version of the grey ant fabric on the front of the quilt. To keep the simplicity, I then quilted the quilt with straight lines about 1/4 inch away from each of the seam lines. Lastly, the quilt was bound with a darker grey to frame the quilt.
So lovely! The fabric choices are too cute!
ReplyDeleteOooh, love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Rachel! And that's a wicked place to show it off too ;)
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are amazing! It was lovely to meet you in London and find your blog.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt. The only thing wrong with the picture is the lack of a dripping Mr. Darcy coming out of the water ;)
