This recently finished quilt ticks all the boxes for me…so many of my favourite AMH fabrics in the one quilt✔️ ultra scrappy mix of old and new fabrics✔️ mod 'cone flower' quilting✔️ scrappy backing✔️ stripey binding✔️
Checkered Garden quilt - the 'garden party' one:
Pattern: 'checkered garden' pattern from Ashley @ filminthefridge (it’s free)
Fabric: I was able to use lots of little bits from my entire AMH stash. I worked block by block, as I had decided to set myself the creative challenge of choosing colours for each block as I went. I’m super happy with this mishmash of bright fabrics, and I really tried not to be too matchy-matchy.
Backing: I used a scrappy mix of leftovers #partyinthequiltback!
Quilting: Leeanne from quiltmekiwi quilted it with an edge-to-edge panto called 'cone flower' - which looks super!
Binding: even though my quilt was heavy with the busy bright colours, I felt that this two-toned blue stripe binding from my stash would give just the right amount of contrast & balance.

How beautifully this blends with your spring garden peonies. I love the binding fabric too, a great choice.
Of course, the title of your blog post would get me to mentally hearing Ricky Nelson sing "Garden Party." :-) But your quilt sure stirs up a visual image of a flower garden! Very pretty colors, and your quilting motif ensures there's no doubt about the theme going on here. It's lovely! Will you be putting it on a bed?
I am enjoying all the colour and the stripey binding.
The coneflower quilting is stunning!
Your finish is a beauty, congratulations, and the photo with the roses is mouth watering. Our roses have mostly gone to sleep.
This is a gorgeous quilt! I love how you have photographed it in the garden, too.
