The Newly ‘Spruced-Up’ Spruce Woods Sample – The Blanket Assertion

Spruce Woods is a quilt design that has at all times felt like a real reflection of me. When it was first featured on the RJR Materials “What Shade Are You?” weblog, it gave me the possibility to specific my character via a quilt in a deeply private approach. You possibly can learn much more about that and the unique design on this weblog submit!

However right here’s just a little secret: Spruce Woods was the second sample I ever launched, and for a very long time now, it hasn’t been my favorite. I preferred it, however I didn’t love it, if that is sensible. I heard so many individuals inform me it was their all-time favorite, which left me feeling just a little confused.

Then it lastly clicked: it was the color. The authentic palette on the duvet is gorgeous (I imply, orange is considered one of my favorite colors!), but it surely wanted one thing extra… extra depth, extra drama… to essentially make it come to life.

This was the principle cause I made a decision to refresh the sample with new updates and hues! And whereas I used to be at it, I added an further mattress measurement to totally spherical out what this sample provides, supplying you with much more alternatives to convey your imaginative and prescient to life!

I selected colors that stayed true to the unique quilt and design, whereas providing a brand new perspective. I particularly love the deep background, which grounds the quilt and creates gorgeous distinction that makes the opposite colors actually stand out!

I struggled to search out the right backing for this quilt, and it ended up sitting within the WIP pile a bit longer than I’d wish to admit. I searched domestically, browsed on-line, after which it hit me! I hadn’t even checked out what I already had in my cloth stash.

BINGO! I discovered simply sufficient of the super-soft Flicker in Pink from Warp & Weft by Alexia Marcelle Abegg for Ruby Star Society. I completed the quilt with hand stitched binding in Essex Yard-Dyed Linen – Licorice, which actually pulled every part collectively.

Should you’ve spent any time looking quilts on-line, I’m certain you’ve seen loads with natural, wavy quilting. I’ve tried it a couple of instances not too long ago and completely love the impact! Because it’s really easy to create a wooden grain look, it could not be extra good for the Spruce Woods quilt.

I selected 50wt Aurifil thread in Muslin (2311) for the piecing and quilting. Utilizing my AcuFeed Open-Toe foot, I quilted throughout the quilt, gently shifting it backwards and forwards to create the wavy sample. I used the width of the HSTs as a information, stitching three traces inside each for a cohesive and balanced look.
