This post is the sixth in a series of posts about some of my pre-blog quilts. See the rest of them
here.
This quilt is a staple on the couch. Not too stiff, not too small. It's a bit like baby bears bed in quilt form, just right! The pattern is Lighthouse by Sweetwater, released with their Hometown fabric line.
I managed to score a pre release jelly roll (before I knew what pre release really was). I ordered a few of the patterns from them around this time and this was one of them.
It was simple to make and really effective, though probably not recommended for large prints. I bound it in a print from the line as well.
The border and backing came from Spotlight (Surprise, Surprise right?). I really love the backing fabric its got a tree of life feel about it.
I straight line quilted the main section of the quilt and then did a loopy design on the borders.
I really must make another quilt using this pattern!
