Daylesford quilt top

And she’s done!








The #daylesfordquilt top was a fun wandering path as I went around and around making another large improv log cabin quilt. You can find info for this pattern in Jen's book here at amitie textiles. {And some of you may remember an earlier Daylesford quilt that I made May 2022 in mellow colours of peachy-pinks, blues & browns with "pops" of mustard, see back here}

I loved working with this bright & bold colour combo inspired by jo_broz on ig. I hunted high & low in my sewing baskets for some of my most treasured fabrics for that mood I was looking for palette-wise. So, it's a real mix now of fabrics, old & new, designer, florals & geometrics!
Many of you have asked about the bird floral at the center. It’s a rich fabric designed by Odile Bailloeul from the Jardin de la Reine collection.  Loving the play of colour in this quilt top.
Finished quilt top measures approx. 60" x 68".  Linking up with Cynthia for 'oh scrap' here

Thank you to everyone who took a moment or two out of your day to comment on my last couple of posts 💖

That was fast!! I love the combination of colors and patterns in this one. You always surprise me when you put in a color I would not have thought of using with the rest of the fabrics.

Love this pattern and your version of it - just so fresh and beautiful. Dare I add another one to the TO DO list????

This was always going to be a success, given that beautiful central panel you've used Linda! What a delight this is! It reminds me of summer in Provence. And the perfect partner to your original Daylesford quilt! I lived in Daylesford for my first year of teaching and now that I'm living in country Victoria, not too far from said town, maybe I should make this quilt. Thanks for the inspiration!

It’s beautiful! I love how you have successfully mixed single fabric strips with pieced sections. Your fabric choices are bold and yet mix together without appearing chaotic. Bravo!!

Oh my! You're a fast piecer! You have a well-curated combination of prints and colors. The top looks lovely, and the size is perfect for usability - that ranks high in my book.
