Out to Sea

Today I wanted to share with you a nautical inspired quilt made from the beautiful Michael Miller Littles collection. The fabric is super sweet with anchors, boats and lifesavers and also includes some great complementary dots and stripes.

I had fun making this one up adding 3 sailboat blocks as a feature in the centre.

The quilt is cot sized and would make the perfect edition to any little boys room.

In keeping with the nautical theme the quilt was quilted with an all over wave design by my longarmer, Donna.

I backed this one with Britten Nummer fabric from Ikea. It is 150cm wide so is perfect backing for cot quilts and requires no joining.

This quilt was featured in Patchwork & Stitching nautical inspired edition.

If you would like to purchase this quilt it is available in my shop here.

Till next time....happy sewing....

Sunday Stash: Marine Too

Having little boys I just couldn't go past this fabric when I first saw it. The range is called Marine Too by Dan Stiles for Birch fabrics. It is 100% certified organic premium quilting weight cotton and lovely and soft to touch.

There are 10 fabrics in the range which showcases both small and large (actually very large) prints.

 

Both the turtles and the whales are super cute with little love hearts between them.

There are also some prints with submarines, anchors, crabs, ships and birds. I'm loving the brightness of these prints they just scream fun and happy to me!

 

I haven't got any specific fabric in mind for these just yet but as the prints are quite large I'm thinking some simple large strips or perhaps bordered squares. I also bought some extra yardage of the whales which I can't wait to use as backing.

 

Till next time....happy sewing....
