I love the Perfect Place Quilt Pattern by Lifting Limits Quilting. When I test a quilt pattern I typically choose to test the option with the most colors.
Carrie, the pattern designer, already had several testers making scrappy and multicolor versions, so I said that I could make the limited color version.
I needed four prints (or solids) and a background. I had a few one yard cuts of a few of my designs from Spoonflower and decided was about time to make a quilt with only my fabrics, plus a solid background.
Two of my prints are rocks - Variscite and Parrot Wing chrysacolla. Two of the prints are a wood grain of a Sequoia tree. One I colorized in blue as the grain pattern reminded me of ocean waves. I picked a cotton and poly blend twill for the background.
The pattern is beginner friendly and only involves making flying geese and snowballed blocks. These simple shapes are combined to make a visually interesting pattern.
I made the throw size and love the finished size. I have a minky backing for it that is the Sequoia wood grain print to match the quilt.
I'm not sure I will let this quilt go. It's so beautiful and these fabrics are so special to me. Thankfully I can always buy more fabric.
