Baby Quilt - Moda - Nomad Layer Cake

I have a tendency not to use a pattern when I make a quilt and prefer to create a piece with absolute freedom.  On occasions I might have a general idea of what I would like the quilt to look like and much of this depends on the size of the blocks I want to use or the fabric design, who I making the quilt for plus many other reasons.

With the Nomad quilt I used a Layer Cake and managed to make two baby quilts, which both look completely different (this one as well as the Nomad Floral quilt), and still had some fabric left over, which I used to make lavender bags.

Something about the Nomad fabric reminded me of Aztec art and probably explains why I chose the make the blocks in the way I did.  The inclusion of the floral fabric and the delicate feather fabric softens the overall impact.

The Moda Nomad Layer Cake is 100% cotton.  To balance the top of the quilt plain fabric has been used for the backing and for the binding.  Straight line stitching has been used to quilt the patchwork.

A domestic sewing machine was used to make the quilt and the binding was completed by hand.

The approximate measurements are:

W36" x L45" or W92cms x L115 cms

The quilt is machine washable on a gentle setting.
