Just last week I shared with you a couple stacks of fabric that I had planned to make mini quilts. Well sometimes something unexpected can change those plans. A few days after that post I was doing some online shopping when I came across this picture:
As soon as I saw it I knew just what that bundle of fabric was going to make.
I'm calling her Lacey Gracey.
I used the stack of varying greys and added a few that I came across at my LQS because they were so perfect- Puttin on the Ritz (grey) by Bunny Hill Designs.
Each section of fabric has a different quilting design. I wanted to continue the feeling of different laces and ribbons.
I LOVE how it turned out!
It's definately bigger than a 'mini' quilt but still quite small. It's a nice baby size though.
The different laces I used were actually from the local Walmart. The wider of the 3 was a by-the-yard cut while the other two were spools that I bought. I really wanted to head to the antiques shop for some vintage lace but I was more anxious to just get sewing.
So what do you think? Would you like a tutorial on this little cutie? Let me know because I took tons of pictures of the process. :o)
I love it! I have a bunch of vintage laces trims and linens that I've never known what do to with. This might be a good project.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I have a friend a small quilt like this would be perfect for, just perfect. Did you sew on the lace after quilting? I for one am very interested in the process.
ReplyDeleteEmily -- I love it ! So unique and very tasteful! The lace and the quilting make it "just so".
