Marjorie quilt












- party in the quilt back








And here's my 'Marjorie' quilt, another recently finished quilt that has now been gifted. I used a pattern from Jennifer @penelopehandmade. My colour concept was simple, I was (loosely) channeling a soft pastel "Bridgerton" vibe, with colours of soft blues, springtime pinks & peach, and lavender. All the colours seem to dance softly over & around the dutchman's puzzle blocks.

For my backing I used two vintage sheets from a local Hospice shop, which I cut into strips and inserted three leftover blocks. I think the back complements the front of the quilt nicely with those extra blocks tucked in there. Best of all, it's a little surprise when the quilt is turned over!
And I had it quilted in an e2e 'peeling good' panto by Leeanne @quiltmekiwi.
I chose an early Henry Glass stripe in purple for the binding, I think it works perfectly with these colours.


Happy weekending, Linda

  2. Wisteria, very romantic and once established it can take over! I like Dutchman's Puzzle Block and you have good contrast to bring out the beauty of the design.

  4. So softly serene, with the hopeful vibe of a warm spring day. This may be one of my favorites.
