This soft quilted throw blanket features scrappy bear paw patchwork. With a soft fireside backing, this quilt is perfect for relaxing. The colors are warm and rich with a welcoming vibe.
Fireside is a velvety soft polyester and is a little heavier than cotton; so this quilt has a little extra weight, similar to what you get in a weighted blanket. Although not a true weighted blanket, the slight heaviness is comforting, especially combined with the soft backing.
Generously sized at about 75 x 60 inches (190 x 153 cm) it is suitable for adults and children alike.
Quilting is done with a freemotion flower feather design. This means that I control the machine, not a computer. Freemotion is a technique that relies on the skill and artistry of the operator in executing the stitching pattern. It ensures your quilt is one of a kind.
Binding is double folded and attached by machine for added durability.
All fabrics are quality cotton. And this quilt showcases a beautiful collection in lovely country colors of rich browns, rusty reds, blue, green and creams.
All aspects of the quilt, from fabric choice to cutting, stitching, quilting and finishing, were completed by myself, in my rural Ontario home. (smoke and pet free).
I have washed this quilt once so that you don't have to be intimidated by the laundering process. It is preshrunk, colorfast, and fabrics are soft and pliable with that traditional 'crinkly' look that is typical of a handmade quilt.
Note: the hand written lable on the back corner adds authenticity and is done with archival ink.

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.
