Quilt in a Day



This is the fastest quilt I've ever finished. Big, chunky pieces = done in a snap! I got my inspiration for this post on I'm a Ginger Monkey's blog. The original creator features a tutorial here.

I used some Anna Maria Horner Velveteen and some coffee colored Timeless Treasures Sketch for the background. The squares are 13-1/2" and the quilt is 55" x 55".

The velveteen was not the easiest fabric to work with, but I got some tips on the internet and the secret is to pin the heck out of it. Easy, peasy.

  5. What size seam allowance did you use with the velveteen. I've been slowly buying enough velveteen to make my very own. I fell in love with Ginger's as soon as I first saw it. Yours is just as lovely.
