playtime quilt (& giveaway!)

playtime quilt

While I was working on the big room switcharoo, I realized Ava would need a new quilt for her toddler bed. Reasons being: her old quilt didn’t quite match the vibe I was going for, and also it’s her lovey and she drags it EVERYWHERE. So it’s kinda dingy now. But well loved! I bought a bench with storage for all their smallish quilts and blankets, and that seems to work so far!

So: back to the quilt! I wanted a feedsack-y, vintage vibe with lots of bright colors like Sadie’s and Charlotte’s twin size quilt, and I wanted it to be EASY to make since…pregnant.

So I decided on a simple charm pack quilt-much like this one I made Charlotte a long time ago.

My awesome sponsor, The Fat Quarter Shop, was kind enough to send me the charm pack and backing fabric to make the quilt!

Quick & easy giveaway-they’re giving away the same charm pack to a lucky reader!

They have an amazing selection of adorable prints and TONS of awesome jelly rolls, charm packs, layer cakes, and quilting necessities!

The charm pack I used specifically was the 30’s Playtime pack-Chloe’s Closet for Moda Fabrics.

I did sub in some of my own scraps for the darker blues and browns sincesome of them didn’t really “go”.

I cut sashing that was I think 3″ wide and sewed it all up! Super quick and easy-it was literally pieced, quilted (simple lines across), and bound in less than 24 hours!

Just to be clear that’s not normal. I must have had a huge nesting urge or somethin’.

I backed it in my favorite print from the line-Scarlet Buttercup-I don’t always love red, but when I do it’s in a floral!!

I can’t wait to show you the rest of their room!

  6. Jessica Shibley says

    I love the Forest Floor fabric!

  7. Love that backing fabric, it is beautiful!

    A cute quilt I saw on Pinterest that was similar to your quilt had a charm pack of solids or at least squares from their stash and instead of a solid sashing… they did a cute print. Thanks for letting me enter.

    Favorite, really? There is no way. What an amazing assortment of fabrics they have! In just one collection there are three of just polka-dots! (That would have made my double wedding ring quilt for my sister easier, sigh) There are several with the red, aqua, coral vibe that I really like. And, really special flannel collections! Ahhh, just so much prettiness.

    Great job on the little quilt, by the way. I inherited a huge box of assorted 5″ squares – I think this is the inspiration for using some quickly.

  121. I like the Bright Sun fabrics by Sheri and Chelsi for Moda Fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway! Can’t believe how big your girls are getting!
