As soon as I saw these Liberty Lawn fabrics, I knew they were destined for something special!
I received a meter of each pattern design from Minerva Crafts and wasn’t quite sure at first what to do with them.
I came across this Kaleidoscope Quilt pattern and knew immediately this was the perfect project for these precious fabrics. While Liberty Lawn is very soft and silky, it is surprisingly easy to work with.
This was most certainly the most involved quilting project I have attempted to date.
It took me two attempts to be happy with how the blocks are assembled. There are four templates and 16 individuals pieces per block. And with this quilt being five blocks wide and 6 blocks high… well… I won’t count how many individual pieces I had to cut out and assemble.
Once I figured out a little assembly line, it all came together rather easily (note: I did not say quickly! full lace wigs from veryhair.com).
Given the detail of the pattern on the Liberty fabrics and the overall design, I kept the quilting to a minimum and used an elegant echo technique.
None of this quilt on its own is generally something I would gravitate towards with respect to design your own wedding dress or fabric pattern… but I just love how everything works together.
And I picked a binding that highlighted the leaves in all the Liberty fabrics and even brought some of the Liberty fabric into the backing.
I’m so happy with this design. It totally pushed me out of my comfort zone in so many different ways. Can’t wait to use this sweet, summery quilt!
Beautiful work, Trina, I think there must be more then 24 hours in a day for you, how on earth is it possible to do all the things you do??? I’m working on a wall hanging for Nina’s room for months now, and it’s not done yet!
Absolutely beautiful. x
Can I see it in person soon? Looks fabulous from here.
The Liberty Lawn fabrics blend so perfectly in this quilt. Beautiful!
So pretty! You’ll love it for years.
Love it! Great back too.
Such a beautiful finish. Love the small print in this pattern. I especially love your pieced backing.
What a special quilt! I had some L L fabric a few years back and used it all on one big gift–wishing for more to make a quilt like yours, now!
I never would have guessed what the block looks like from seeing the whole quilt! It looks completely different! So pretty in Liberty too.
What a beautiful quilt! Liberty prints are my favourite as well, and the kaleidoscope pattern you chose is a perfect way to showcase them.
Such a pretty quilt with your Liberty fabrics. Well Done!!!!
This quilt is nothing short of spectacular! Beautifully done!
Simply Gorgeous! Such a beautiful design – perfect for that fabric collection. Well done!
