My daughter loves her new quilt and is taking it with her as she works out of town on her first "grown up" job this summer. I'm glad to know it will get lots of use and love!

Another Brick in the Wall
Today I am excited to share with you a recent finish of mine. This quilt was a gift to my daughter in honour of her university graduation last week.
The fabric is Hope Valley by Denyse Schmidt and is one of my favourite fabric lines ever. The pattern calls for a jelly roll plus a whole lot of backing fabric; in this case, 4 yards of something that looks a lot like Kona PFD.
The pattern is Another Brick in the Wall by Emily Cier of Carolina Patchworks. The quilt top consists of 12 smaller blocks which in turn consist of lots of strippy rows, all pieced together.
Hope Valley was my first introduction to Denyse Schmidt and her lovely fabrics; it remains one of my favourite lines of all time. A lovely lady who lives not too far from me quilted it with a nice, open all-over pattern. I both backed and bound it in more Hope Valley prints and, thankfully, I still have a few scraps left over.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty!!!! A wonderful showcase for favorite fabrics! I always aspire to more Denyse fabric than I have... :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Congratulations to your daughter on her graduation.
ReplyDeleteStanding ovation over here. Love everything about this!
ReplyDeleteI love that! Looks like stacked books to me. I've been wanting to make a quilt similar to this. You have inspired me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great gift for a worthy occasion!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! I can very really figure out what to do with Denyse Schmidt's fabric, but I always enjoy what others come up with! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome graduation gift. Your daughter will have something to remind her of your love, and when she needs a hug the quilt will be there when you aren't. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely fabric/color combo and I like your quilting as well.
