from fabric stack to quilt top



Here's my basic receipe . . . take one fabric stack from lovestoryfabrics by Maureen Cracknell,
add a plaid, a few quirky vintage prints, and a couple of blending solids. Mix everything together well using the 'star crossed' quilt pattern from Sharon Holland's book 'utilitystylequiltsforeverydayliving'  . . . et voilĂ  . . . one quilt top with a soft vintage look.














Have a good week,
Linda

I love the mix of fabrics you used - the vintage look, bright and faded at once -

Love!!!!!! I have that book and so enjoy looking at the quilts and playing with potential fabric combinations.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos.
That is a great block, I've just pieced a block very
similar to it for the traditional sampler I'm working on.
You have a good way with color.

What a lovely flimsy. Your choice of colors and fabric patterns takes this quilt from the ordinary to wonderful!

Julie said...

very vintage looking.You really seem to be enjoying these softer colours lately, and perhaps a more limited range of fabrics too.

I know I've seen that block before through the years, but I'm really loving it in the fabrics you chose! Looks great!

Some of those prints from Maureen Cracknell are just dreamy aren't they? I love the block design too. Do you own that book by Sharon Holland? Just wondering what it is like?

Such a fun recipe! You definitely cooked up a lovely quilt from it.
