Child's Quilt - Moda - Block Party Layer Cake

The beauty of using a pre-cut Layer Cake is that you can use the same bundle of pre-cut fabric to create two quilts that look completely different.  So take for example this quilt, made with Block Party Layer Cake and then look at the Child’s Quilt – Block Party (Cream Diagonal).  

The colour scheme in the Block Party Layer Cake is analogous – the colours naturally go together.  I decided to use the hour-glass design as I felt the strong colours lent themselves well to this type of layout.

The quilt top has been made using Moda Block Party 100% cotton Layer Cake.  To add a bit of interest an orange flange has been added on the border. 

As the top of the quilt is bright and colourful the backing fabric is a plain colour. Straight line stitching has been used to quilt the patchwork with good quality wadding in between the layers.

The quilt was made with a domestic sewing machine and the binding was finished by hand.

The approximate measurements are:

W39" x L56" or W99 cms x L142 cms
