I had a plan.
I wanted to design a simple fun quilt that would be quick to make and perfect for using up fabric scraps.
I then thought how awesome would it be to offer two different sizes and then I had the genius idea to also add an alternating layout.
What this means for you.
You get a big pattern with lots of options.
What it meant for me, was hours upon hours of quilt maths and calculations.
Resulting in me questioning before mentioned genius ideas.
If you would like to purchase this big option filled pattern you can here!
The original version of Round Trip was made using a real mix of fabrics. You can see the selection of fabrics in the photo below.
I used the 6" block in the original layout.
I also had the most perfect vintage sheet in my stash that I use for the backing.
The next version I made using just two colours, Kona Snow and Kona Sunflower.
I used the 9" block in the alternating layout.
I have decided to hand this quilt using Perle 8 thread in matching cream and yellow. I am using a Hera marker to plan the quilting and I just love how it is turning out.
The next version was made entirely from stunning Liberty fabrics and an Essex Linen for the background.
This is going to be a baby gift so I used the 6" block in the original layout.
How pretty does it look!!!
I really wanted to try a version using all prints, so I raided my stash and selected all the large florals and stripes.
I wanted a new quilt for my couch so I used the 9" block.
How much fun is the finished quilt and made entirely from my stash, even the backing was a long hoarded piece of Anna Maria Horner flannel.
