#summer - a lap quilt



My third quilt finish of 2018, which I finished at during Easter...they are lap quilts for our two black leather sofas in the sitting room.



Measures 54"x50" (legs not included!)

I've called it #summer because of the pattern and the fact that the pair of quilts will always remind me of our first (and very, very hot) summer in this Hunter Street house. It is on my to-do list for the 2018 Finishalong's first quarter goals and is completely made from my stash.



For this quilt I just used straight-line quilting.


Is from a pattern called 'Weave' by Me and My Sister Designs from their book '12-Pack Quilts' and the backing is made with leftover yardage.



Here it is with its buddy quilt Summer Buzzcut:


Here's how they look in the sitting room:





Did you spot Rumbles doing his cushion impression?

    1. Cheers Judy! They look exactly how I envisioned, so I am one happy crafter/wanna-be interior designer.
