A quilt for Alice


My friend Alice celebrated her birthday last week and I made a larger lap quilt for her new cottage.
Her dream was always to spent time outdoors and it is true if you visualize your dreams and ideas it will happen. She bought her own tiny island with a cottage. A good swim will take you around the island.
To relax she likes to read sitting at the dock. I think this year a quilt comes in handy since we have a slow start to spring.

The quilt is made out of random pieces of fabric and cut to 12" blocks.
 The idea started with this scarp fabric piece as I know that my friend is fond of wolves.


The workroom in Toronto sells scrap fabric bundles and they come in so handy with many projects. The are colour co-ordinated which I like.



Backing: Salt Water from Tula Pink
Batting: This time I chose  Polyester which keeps you warm without the weight.

  1. I really love the modernity of this quilt. From the colors to the pattern it is so FRESH. In a strange way it's also very old-fashioned. Thanks for sharing with us!
