Vintage Chevron Quilt | A finish and Giveaway {Quilting}

 

Beware this is going to be a post full of pictures and only few words.

Pattern: Giant Chevron Quilt from The Elven Garden 
(available on Craftsy or Etsy)or check out 
the giveaway at the end of the post!

Fabrics: The 70s section fabric selection is detailed here, a collection of 

low volume fabrics in cream and Kona white for the background

Quilting: Stitched in the ditch around the chevron patterns, 

and highlighted with brown red hand quilting (Guterman).

Binding: I bought my bias tape – I opted for a very narrow binding so 

it did not overtake the whole quilt. I used a blanket stitch 

beforehand so it shows underneath the bias tape.

Size: The finished quilt size is 140 cm x 185 cm

Result: This is a great pattern – so versatile, just look at all the different 

testers’versions. It is a great beginners’ pattern 

as well (you don’t have to make it more complicated like I did).

This is the quilt I am most proud of. Technically I have still a lot more to learn about quilting, but I think I really have found my style and managed to capture my vision in this quilt. It was a bit more complicated because of the stamp collection, but totally worth the effort – it does blend colours well – you will see definitely more of this technique.

So it is GIVEAWAY time! You want to make this quilt – yes you do! Jess has been nice enough to giveaway  TWO patterns (in pdf form)!! Whoohoo! Who is in?
