Skinny Strip Quilt

When I saw this quilt pattern I instantly fell in love with it. It has all the colors of the rainbow! I just want to make one, as I could already imagining myself snuggle up in this quilt on the couch. After a quick check of my fabric stash,  I have some left over strips from a jelly roll which is perfect for this project.



I had so much fun arranging the strips, it is a great exercise on playing with different colors and see what color combination works well and what you don't like. I also love how the solids gives a clear, crisp shape and without the distraction of prints.



As for the back of this quilt I pulled out one of my favourite fabric called Crosshatch Sketch from Timeless Treasure. It is a tone-on-tone fabric with crosshatch / imperfect sketch-like grid that gives the quilt a bit more texture and depth.


After making many quilts for children and friends I think I will keep this one for myself!

Thank you for stopping by!

Cheers,
Erica.
