My nephew got married this past weekend and I gifted him and his bride a new quilt. They met in Seattle during the pandemic and have now relocated for a few years to California with hopes to return back to the Pacific Northwest. I chose colors of that beautiful area for the quilt top (Paintbrush Studios in colors pale aqua, marine, gulf stream and gray) and this fun Alison Glass print for the back to capture the rainy weather.
This is a free pattern called Brushstrokes from Shiners View. It was a fun controlled improv sew and was perfect for sewing while I was at our annual family beach trip. The edge is edge pattern is called Belly Bop. The quilt finishes 63" x 70" - I made it slightly bigger than the pattern.
so very pretty...lucky couple
ReplyDeleteIt came out beautifully! Well done! Lisa @Shinersview
ReplyDeleteAwesome quilt, Patty! Thanks for sharing the info on the free quilt pattern. I like it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great gift for newlyweds! Love the colors you chose, and that backing is perfect. Seems that you've had some good opportunities for summer travel (like me). I'm sort of looking forward to fall and a return to regular sewing and quilting.
ReplyDeleteHi Patty, what a great gift. It really is a wonderful quilt!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finish! I hope the happy couple loves it :) It turned out so wonderful. And the panto is so fun, not really a circle but also not a square - it fits perfectly with your improv stripes. xo
ReplyDeleteOh, the backing print is perfection and the colors definitely make me think of the Pacific Northwest. I hope they are settling into married life and get many, many years of use and love out of your gift. Thank you so much for linking up with Favorite Finish.
