| Star-Crossed Quilt by A Little Sew and Sow (pattern by Karen Lewis) |
You may remember me making my
Monstera Leaf Block Quilt before Christmas, which was a pattern from the
Modern Quilter’s Box. In the same
box I also received the Star-Crossed quilt pattern by designer KarenLewis.
I have followed Karen for some
time on Instagram and love her fabric designs, so wanted to give her quilt
pattern a go. I decided to use scraps
from my stash for the quilt so that it was a low-cost make.
I am really pleased with the
finished quilt which includes all sorts of interesting and beautiful fabrics,
including some liberty cotton and some of the left over pieces of Kona white
that I dyed with Indigo for Christmas gift making.
I slightly changed the border
layout from the pattern to accommodate the fabric that I had to hand, so it
came up slightly smaller at around 38 inches square; the perfect size to pop on
your lap or in my case on the back of an Ercol chair!
The pattern was challenging, as
it was the first time I had tried Foundation Paper Piecing but with some
guidance from Karen herself (how amazing Instagram is at connecting people) I
got there in the end. I really enjoyed
the FPP element and will definitely be trying that process again.
Tell me, what quilt patterns are
you currently working with or thinking about starting?
