wistful winds
Adorable. That's the first word that came to my mind when I first laid eyes on Shari of Doohickey Design fame's latest collection "Wistful Winds". I mean, melt.your.heart adorable! The sweet little girls? Love. The jelly-candy fresh colours? Yum.
I whipped up this quick little crib/playmat quilt in whatever spare time I could find over the weekend, which wasn't much. So I pulled off this project off with a few handfuls of squares & rectangles, and then at the last minute I threw in the white stripes between each column. Love how that white makes everything just pop.
In case you're inspired to make something similar, cut sizes are:
- 2.5" squares
- 2.5 x 4.5" rectangles
- 1" strips
This quilt is so easy! Standard cuts, no matching seams, nothing fussy at all. I was working with Long Quarters, which are 9" x WOF (rather than Fat Quarters) so I made probably THE scrappiest binding EVER! Love it. :)
