 <\/p>\n

For Jacob’s Shirt Quilt, I used fabric scraps from making cotton shirts for my son during the past several years.\u00a0 His favorite shirts are made with 100% cotton novelty, batik\u00a0 and unusual print fabrics.<\/span><\/p>\n

This top was machine pieced on an early 1950’s Nelco sewing machine acquired through Freecycle.\u00a0 It sewed beautifully!\u00a0 I backed the quilt with a pale blue king size sheet which had to be enlarged using a matching twin size sheet.\u00a0 The mottled red border is from my stash, the navy blue border is cut from a twin size sheet and the outside border is scraps from making the quilt.\u00a0 It is bound with navy blue.<\/span><\/p>\n

The batting is Hobb\u2019s Poly Down.\u00a0 It is incredibly easy to hand quilt and I love the low loft and light weight of the finished quilt.\u00a0 The hand quilting is an original design and the border quilting was inspired by a Celtic coloring book.\u00a0 I used G\u00fctermann pale blue thread.<\/span><\/p>\n

The quilt is 6\u2033 longer and wider than a king-sized sheet. Jake has his great grandfather\u2019s tall, antique iron double bed so this quilt reaches nearly to the floor all around.

I’ll now give credit where credit is due.\u00a0 This pattern is called “Sunset” and is a Sunflower Hill Design by Julie Popa.<\/span><\/p>\n
