I used one of Benartex's new fabric lines, Dori, and I love the bright, happy colors. This quilt was fun and easy from start to finish!
For the backing, I opted for the Dottie Lime fabric in the Dori line, and of course I used all of the scraps as well!
A bright orange binding finished the whole thing off! I'm calling this quilt Coral Reef. Something about these colors and prints reminds me of the surreal colors of tropical water.
The finished quilt measures 40 x 52- a super-versatile size- perfect for a baby, or for draping across a table for a cookout or pool party. I know we're heading into winter, but in true teacher fashion, I think about summer year-round!

ReplyDeleteI of course follow you through Bloglovin' as well (and email I think). I was recently gifted a Noteworthy by Sweetwater Fat Quarter Bundle and have been looking for pattern ideas to put it to good use to actually make a quilt for myself for once and this might be a great way to use it up and perhaps add a couple extra braids to make it a bit bigger for snuggling with on the couch. Thank you so much for sharing. I always enjoy seeing your projects, especially ones done with larger pieces of fabric and am in awe at how quickly you come out with new quilts. Thanks again!

ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your blog by E-Mail. I love the Braid Quilt and tutorial from 'Sew in Love Fabric" I had purchased two Jelly Rolls of bright colored patterns of turquoise, hot pink, dark brown, and dark lime green. I hadn't found a pattern I liked yet and since I am a "newbie" quilter and wanted something that was not too complicated. I had just signed up for your E-Mail newsletters and there was my answer. Thank you so much, Kelly. I can't wait to start my Braid style quilt.
