Give a Traditional Quilt a Fresh New Look

| November 4, 2018 | Quilt Ideas
Play with Color to Make It Your Own!
Colorful shapes float on the background of this charming quilt. It’s a great way to avoid losing the points in seams when sewing the blocks together. Nice!
The quilt has a traditional feel to it, especially when made up in vintage-look prints. Choose a combination of 2 1/2″ jelly roll strips or fat quarters in four color groups, then tie everything together with the border.
Dark colors are simply stunning in this design. Play with colors to pop against black or deep charcoal gray for a striking quilt.
Instructions are provided by the designer, Gudrun Erla, for two sizes:
- 47″ x 59″
- 63″ x 75″
You’ll find the pattern for the “Sand Dollars” quilt in Just Your Style.
