Treadlette Tuesday: Elizabeth's Quilt
Elizabeth made this bright, cheerful quilt from a fabulous panel print we have in the store. The panel and several coordinates are part of the Soulshine and Daydreams collection - see them here! Elizabeth also chose several fabrics from Treadle to fill in the design, including prints from Tula Pink and Kaffe Fassett. (Plus a few from her stash, of course!)
This pattern is available for FREE at the Benartex website - click here to get it!
For backing, she chose a Cloud 9 Organic cotton floral print from the store.
She quilted it herself with a free-motion curlicue pattern.
And put in a few extra details around the face!
You can see this quilt on display at Treadle. Plus, Elizabeth is teaching our Beginning Quilting class starting next week! If this project inspires you to learn quilting, go check out the class!
