Gold Rush Quilt

I have used some lovely, bright and colourful prints to craft this rather delightful quilt.


The bold cottons are mainly from fabric ranges designed by the renowned Sandy Klop of "American Jane" fame, some feature punctuation marks and the alphabet, others have vintage style florals and spots,  and I have combined these with pure white cotton for a fresh, clean feel.  The blocks combine four different fabrics in an "hourglass" formation and are set on point, so much to delight the eyes especially of a lucky little one.



The quilt has top quality cotton blend batting and is backed with a lovely cotton cowboy print.  The quilt has been machine quilted outlining the main seams.   Finally, I have used  a co-ordinating check binding which has been hand sewn securely to the reverse for a truly professional finish.



I have for now called this the "Gold Rush" Quilt because it does remind me a little of the Wild West, yee haw!  I have left the name patch unfinished so that if desired, I can personalise it as the purchaser wishes, maybe with the name of the intended recipient.



This quilt measures approximately 32" x 48".  It would be ideal for a cot/crib, also as a play mat on the floor or as a wall hanging and of course, ideal for cuddling on the sofa or in the pram.  It is nice and light but warm and easy for a little one to manage.



It will wash up a treat at 30 degrees in the machine and I recommend line drying.  The quilt can be ironed on a low heat but I personally love that slightly crinkly look a quilt has once it has been laundered and loved.

A quilt to be snuggled and cosied up with for years to come, entwined with special family memories.

The quilt is priced at £125.
