This charming scrappy star mini quilt is a perfect gift idea. Use for decorating under a lamp or in a basket, as a mug rug, even hang on the wall! Lovely coordinating fabrics in spring green florals with touches of purple and brown are quality cotton. Freehand quilting in a scrolling vine adds pretty texture to this little quilt.
Size is about 11 inches square (28 cm).
Last photo shows this quilt with another one, listed and sold separately.
In the interest of transparency, also of note: when looking at the photo showing the backing, notice the swirl right up under the tag. Notice it looks a little different than the rest of the stitching. After I took the quilt off the big machine, I noticed a thread nest, which sometimes happens due to thread tension issues. This difference you see is the repair. On the back you see the slightly different thread color. On the front, I was able to match the thread, making it nearly invisible where it counts. This is a minor flaw and does not affect the quality of the quilt.
Features
Features
I always use quality fabrics and thread. In addition, I am conscientious about making sure I use a full seam allowance. I never leave fabrics holding together by a few threads. This ensures a quality, handmade item, that will withstand normal care and use for many years.
The inner batting layer is usually Pellon or Hobbs 80/20. Occasionally I use a bamboo batting.
Binding is always double thickness and attached by machine for added durability, with neat mitered corners.
The nice thing about quilts is that the more you use them the softer and more snuggly they become. Don’t be afraid to use them wherever you want to be. After all, we wear cotton fabrics everyday in our clothes… your quilt won’t fall apart before it gets well loved!
Care
Care
I have often washed my own quilts in with a regular wash load, with no regrets. However, it is still recommended to use a gentle cycle, mild soap and tumble drying on low heat. (** Note: I rarely prewash my fabrics. Expect a small amount of shrinkage on the first laundering.) It is the tumble drying that achieves the soft crinkly look that we associate with handmade quilts. If you prefer a flatter look, lay flat to air dry… do not dry in the dryer.
Remember that sunlight will fade any fabric, and your quilt is no exception. So; have a care when you leave it outside frequently or in a sunny window.
