Quilted Living Summer Blog Tour

Fat Quarter Shop has published a book by Gerri Robinson of Planted Seed Designs. Quilted Living – casual style for a comfortable home has 10 fresh new quilt designs. Gerri has used her new collection, Summer Cottage for Red Rooster fabrics to make these summery quilts. Full of stunning quilts photographed in beautiful settings, this book is a must have for the beginner to the experienced quilter.

My favourite quilt in the book is Streamers so I made a mini version of the block which resulted in a caffeine carpet (mug rug). I used Kate Spain fabric for an interesting background and Moda rustic weave for the streamers.

Visit The Jolly Jabber to read about the tour and be in the draw for some great prizes.

Quilted with Aurifil In Love with Dove 2600 50wt cotton thread.

The book can be purchased at Fat Quarter Shop or on Gerri’s site.

P.S my lovely friend, Penny Barnes did most of the quilting for the book.

Streamers is my favourite quilt from this book too. I really like your fabric choices for Streamers. The red just pops on that great background fabric.

Thank you Maureen. The reds and oranges are my favourite solids for grey backgrounds.

Thanks Jen, I love using a background that looks like it is moving. It forms so many different patterns.

I love your interpretation of this pattern. How creative to make it smaller.

Wow! Your Streamers block is stunning! I would never have thought to use the stripes for a background, but REALLY like! You did a fantastic job! Thanks for sharing.
