Bullseye Stripe Quilt – Bold Colors Neighbor Black and White

This is an example of a listing I have had on Etsy. I mostly work directly with customers who have requests for colors, patterns and sizes that fit their needs. I especially love making quilts that use customer fabrics that are embedded with meaning. Visit my shop on Etsy to see the designs I offer, but feel free to connect with me for special requests. Prices are based on size and complexity.

Description

Handmade lap quilt, Bulleye Stripe pattern in bold bright colors with a festive feel, but can be made in whatever color scheme you like. Pictured in large lap size, approximately 60×72, the smaller stripe alternating between colors is a black white geometric print that adds an eye catching dramatic flair. Size can be adjusted to your needs from crib size to large lap size. As always, fabrics are 100% top quality cottons.

Photos of this quilt show two different color schemes, one darker and bold prints, and one with light bright prints. Options are limitless, as you can choose your own color scheme. Pastels, jewel tones, fall colors, Christmas colors, school colors…… whatever you prefer.

All quilts are made with highest quality 100% quilting cotton fabrics. You can rest assured that your quilt will last for generations if properly care for.

HOW ITS MADE

The top layer of the quilt is sewn together, piece by piece, on my Bernina machine. Colors and fabric designs are carefully chosen and coordinated prior to cutting and stitching. Creating the quilt top is typically the longest part of the process.

The middle layer is hidden, inside the top and bottom layer, and is a soft layer of batting made typically from cotton. If a fluffier, lighter quilt is desired, a hybrid cotton/polyester batting can be used. If a very warm quilt is desired, a batting of wool or wool/cotton hybrid can be used. I have used all three types of batting and love each one.

The bottom or back layer of the quilt is made of only one fabric, which can be a solid or print that coordinates with the top.

All three layers are sandwiched together, then carefully quilted in an all over pattern for the quickest result.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

All quilts can be machine washed in cold water, and machine or air dried. With each wash, the quilt will become softer.

Thanks for visiting my shop!

Quilting began as a hobby for me in 2007, when my Mother (who was quite passionate about quilting, and creating in general), gave me a quick lesson on how to make a Christmas table runner. At that time, I was a high school science teacher, and with no background in art or textiles, I had much to learn. But, as is the story with many quilters, once you get started, it becomes quite the addiction. I retired early from teaching in 2008, and after making quilts for family members, babies of friends, and every bed in my house, I needed to pass some of these pieces on to others who could use them. Thus began my Etsy shop, Bluegrass Quilts, in 2015. I love designing with color, and working with customers to find the combination of colors and styles they love, then turning it into something they can keep for a lifetime.

Most of the quilts in my shop are offered as custom, commissioned pieces, made to order in various sizes and any color scheme imaginable. Customers typically browse through the many quilt listings in my shop, and order directly from the menu of choices in any size, ranging from crib size all the way to California King. Custom sizes are also available upon asking. Customer input can occur on various levels, from determining fabric preferences, sizing needs, and choosing quilt stitching design. All of these decisions are made by discussions that occur throughout the process, using email or Etsy’s messaging system in my shop. Time for completion varies, depending on my current workload. Estimated time of completion is provided upon request, or after ordering. Currently, the wait time is approximately 4-5 months. Email: bluegrassquilts @ gmail.com (remove the spaces)

The most fulfilling type of quilt to make is upcycling clothing from a loved one and turning it into a quilt. There is a two-fold benefit from these quilts – not only are we working toward sustainability, but the memories created from using a quilt made from articles belonging to one we love are priceless and precious. I recognize and appreciate this when I create these quilts.
