I’ve had this quilt
up my sleeve to show you for a little while now. I made this for my brother
who’s a keen obsessed sailor so when I was picking a colour scheme I
decided to go with a stormy sea theme. I’m guessing but I think the colours are
silver, slate, dark blue, indigo and charcoal.
I love the simple graphic
nature of this design by Initial K Studio and we all
love this quilt – my brother, my niece and me. Luckily, I can make one for myself
as well and I’m definitely going to! I have fabric pull possibilities lying
around the house as I tap this out and it’s just a matter of slotting it
somewhere on the to-do queue.
It’s a really simple
quilt to make, suitable for a beginner, and the instructions are really well
written and set out. The pattern is available here.
The quilt finishes at
60 by 72 inches and is straight line quilted 1 inch apart.
Happy sewing
Sue

The color scheme is really nice and the motion of the design works well with the nautical theme, too!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Modern Waves is one of my favorite patterns from Initial K Studio, it's so simple yet striking. I still haven't made one because I'm indecisive about color, but yours is great!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but admire the flowers in the background, my yard is suffering because of the lack of rain! Your quilt is so simple, yet it really draws my eye. I think the colors you chose are perfect! I am anxious to see the one you make for yourself.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful quilt, I love the gradient of colours and the movement. Very masculine too. Visiting from Needle and Thread Thursday
