A Taste of Marmalade
A Taste of Marmalade is a baby quilt, quite simple in construction, yet a delightful little finish. The pattern is Storytime Squares, designed by Rae Hoekstra of made by RAE. I first used this pattern when I made a version for 100 Quilts for kids last fall.
For this new quilt, I was thrilled to find some marmalade charm packs out in blogland, as baby's mama had indicated she loved the fabric when I pinned it on Pinterest.
The quilt finished at 42" square, a tad smaller than the original, as I used 5" charm squares, rather than the 5 1/2" blocks the pattern suggests. For quilting, I used my machine's wavy stitch, stretched out as wide and long as it would go.
Backing is an overall floral that coordinates nicely, and the binding a tiny blue and white dot, both courtesy of Ruby.
So cross off project #2 from my Third-Quarter Finish-A-Long list!
So sweet! Love the fabric.

ReplyDeleteReally pretty quilt. What a lucky little baby girl!
ReplyDeleteWith using the charm squares - what size white sashing did you end up using to make it all fit?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I honestly don’t remember, but from a quick glance, it seems it should be cut 2 ¾” for a 2 ¼” finished sashing - ?
DeleteHow can I find out how to make this quilt?
