This beautifully rustic wall quilt was made as a wall hanging, but can layed flat as a table topper also. The scrappy four patch centers are reminiscent of the practicality our ancestors, who used leftover scraps and even old garments to make their quilts. The pattern is a combination to two old standbys, the four patch and churn & dash.
The fabrics are all quality cotton, civil war reproduction prints. I used freemotion machine quilting in an all over pattern. (hand guided, not computer controlled) The outer border is a deep navy blue (not black, which is hard to show in the photos).
The size is 27 inches square (39 cm).
Wall decor is one of the most common ways we choose to add a personal touch to our space. Quilts are a charming and add a handmade touch. They can be made in any size, shape and style.
As another option, these quilts can be laid flat on table tops, coffee tables, trunks, over a chair back etc.

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.
