Brambleberry Ridge Quilt

Wednesday, January 25, 2017

Good morning!

I'm just popping in for a quick minute to show you a finished project that was in the works for about two and a half years!  Man, how time flies! 


Many moons ago, I won a giveaway on Instagram from Sam (@paeoniasfz).  She sent me a bundle of 16 Michael Miller Brambleberry Ridge (by Violet Craft) fat eighths.  They were darling and I was thrilled.  It's not every day that I win a giveaway!


I worked on these little 8" finished stars a little here and a little there over the years (can't believe I'm saying that!) and finally, a few days before the end of 2016, I got some motivation to finish the quilt top!  I just finished the binding last night and couldn't wait to show you guys!


These soft colors have my heart.  I was a little worried about adding the 8" white filler blocks in-between the star blocks.  I thought it might be too much white/blank space but I actually love the simplicity of it!  Do you like "white" space?  I think it's a great place to show off some quilting.  Speaking of which, the simple floral/leaf quilting was done by my friend Cathy Barney.  She did a great job, as always!


 I wanted to use as much fabric as I could from those cute fat eighths so I made a scrappy binding.  I love scrappy bindings, don't you?  I think they work especially well when the quilt top isn't too busy.  The gold polka dot backing fabric is also from Michael Miller.  I got it recently and was excited that it was such a perfect match!


Well, that's it for now.  I'm off to run a couple errands and then sew for a few hours (at a friend's house) on February's Five Fat Quarter Fun project.  It's going to be really cute.  Can't wait to show you come February 1st!

Happy quilting!
