Queen Sized Wholecloth Quilt Pattern

It’s time for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival over at Amy’s Creative Side.

Here is the second queen sized quilt I made recently (first one can be seen here).

This time I went with a wholecloth quilt pattern. This quilt is full of beautiful saturated Anna Maria Horner colour and showcases the Summer Totem in Tart floral print from her LouLouThi fabric line.

I was inspired to make this quilt after seeing one made several years ago by Anna Graham of Noodlehead. As soon as I saw Anna’s quilt I knew I wanted to try something similar but with accents of red and blue. (Not sure why it took me 4 years to get around to it, though. Hmmm.)

The quilt finished at 90″ x 90″.

Fabrics (from centre out) are:

Summer Totem in Tart

Buoyancy in Coral

Woodcut in Passion (possibly my favourite AMH fabric ever)

Buoyancy in Deep

I backed the quilt in Carolyn Friedlander’s Crosshatch in Yarrow (wideback 108″) and it was edge-to-edge quilted by a lovely local long-armer.

For binding I really wanted the blue Buoyancy fabric however I used my last half yards in the quilt top and couldn’t find a scrap to buy anywhere. I did have an almost-half yard of Hugs and Kisses in Ocean and prepped it for binding only to find I was one strip short.

Arrghhh!!

I turned to Instagram in my hour of need (#greataussiedestash) and the lovely Tanya saved the day. Thank you, Tanya!!

Another machine binding completed in a mere hour. I could get used to that!

I prepared a project sheet with the fabric requirements, cutting and assembly instructions for this wholecloth quilt. It’s a free download for anyone who would like to sign up for my newsletter.

So tell me, are you thinking about sewing a wholecloth-style queen quilt in the near future?

I have to say, it’s very gratifying to have it sew up so quickly.

I look forward to snuggling under this one in about 7 months (it’s already averaging 28°C [82F] in my part of Australia so far this spring).

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend with lots of sewing!
