Quilted Living Book Tour (and giveaway)

It's Day 3 of the Quilted Living Book Tour, welcome!

Quilted living

I am so excited to be a part of this book tour!

Quilted Living is the new book by Gerri Robinson of Planted Seed Designs for The Fat Quarter Shop.

There are 10 projects in the book and we had to choose one to make..

I chose Basketweave….made with my fabrics Baskets in Bloom for Red Rooster Fabrics (get it…..basket theme happening here!)

Basketweave1

I love to have small quilts around my home…on the couch, on the balastrade, on the coffee table…but I love to photograph them outside as my house is quite dark!!

Basketweave2

I absoutely am thrilled with how it came out, I made it just a tad smaller and quilted it with an allover swirly pattern…it was so great to make a quilt where I didnt have to write the instructions!

Gerri's book is so bright and cheerful and all the projects are just so summery and fresh!! You can buy it here

  119. I’m enjoying hearing the comments of the book blog hop participants. One common theme seems to be they enjoy not having to figure out the measurements. I understand that. I often see a pattern and think I could draft it, but my time is more valuable than trying to figure out all the measurements for a quilt I didn’t design. I love your following the Basket theme. Your small quilt is adorable. Thank you for participating and an opportunity to win a great, great book.

  120. Lovely quilt and lovely fabric! I’ve been drooling over this book since it came out. Thanks for showing us your project.
