I hope everyone had a good weekend….I did until Sunday when I woke up congested and with a sore throat. I took a decongestant and laid on the couch for a few hours. I did miss church though. By late afternoon I felt well enough to walk one of the dogs two miles.
Anyway, there was a shop hop last week, but I couldn’t really participate because of other commitments. Each shop, five in total, had a Villa Rosa kit that was custom designed for their shop. They were giving out goodie bags with their pattern it it. I did manage to go by the two Victoria shops on Friday morning and get these two patterns.
The patterns each take 10 fat quarters and a yard of contrast. I went ahead and bought one of the kits at Quilters Patch. They had it kitted in three color ways, but I liked this one:
The fat quarters are Poppy Cotton. I bought extra of one of the fabrics so I can add a border and make it a little bigger. Without a border, it’s 50” x 62”, which is a little small for an adult.
My plan is to make this for my daughter. She was telling me my son-in-law doesn’t like sleeping under a quilt because it’s too warm, and she is freezing at night. My husband and I had the same issue so I made twin to full size quilts for my side of the bed that covered me and not him. When I made the bed in the morning, I turned the quilt sideways across the foot of the bed. Of course, she asked for one! She likes these softer type florals, so I think she will be happy with it. She’s 5’10”, so I can’t see how a 62” quilt would be adequate. The border will help with that.
I got all the blocks pieced and laid out yesterday.
I’ll post an update when I get it all together and get the border on.
Hope you are feeling much better today. That quilt kit is really pretty. I love the idea of a quilt at night that covers the end of the bed during the day.
ReplyDeleteI know some think quilts are too warm but we always have them on the bed. Some like those big fat comforters instead but I actually find them too warm.
