Birds and Bees Lap Quilt at Sew, Sew Much More
This quilt was quite the labor of love, taking two years and five months to complete.
Confidentially: most of that time it was in a sewing bag waiting for the binding to be handsewn, but it was patient and understanding, and is now quite lovely.
This quilt is crafted from a jelly roll of Tula Pink's Birds and Bees cotton quilting fabrics, with coordinating Kona cotton solids blended in. Bordering the chevron-inspired zigs and zags of color are a few grounding solids.
The binding is a delightful complementary red floral and the backside is mostly apple green Kona cotton, with a strip of in Ikea print for interest. The stitching on the quilt is done 'in the ditch' following the patterns in the quilt.
Birds & Bees is now available at Sew, Sew Much More.
