This Suburbs quilt pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew was also on my list of quilts I wanted to make. The reason I didn't include it on my earlier blog post is because the top is already completed!
Let me say I love this pattern! It's so simple, and goes together really fast. I'm pretty sure I'll be making another one of these sometime.
I went away from my usual zone and did an (almost) all solids quilt. I think it gives it a beachy vibe that's perfect for a child.
I used a Kona Classic bundle from MadAboutPatchwork, then chose my favorite colors from this bundle.
I made the throw size, which calls for 10 fat quarters or quarter yards to make the houses. Here's a list of the colors I used from this bundle.
Kona Cottons
Cyan
Lagoon
Bright Pink
Bright Periwinkle
Canary
Tangerine
Flame
Sour
Papaya
Eclectic Elements Subway Signs (the black with white letters)
For the sky, I used Kona Aqua (best sky color!), and the background was Kona Snow.
I've decided on a fun backing that will really finish off this quilt, so hopefully I'll be getting to that soon!

ReplyDeleteCute quilt top. I look forward to seeing what you choose for backing and binding.
ReplyDeleteTerrific Suburbs quilt! I would love designers to have a page (not Flickr) where any pics of that pattern made could see how wonderfully different the same pattern can look. Yours is delightfully different from my Suburbs and I can only imagine how beautiful is another commenter's Winter's Lane Suburb quilt.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Great creation.
Good looking quilt! I always add things to my to do list if I finish them too.
ReplyDeleteYummy, yummy, yummy! I LOVE this quilt! Quilts with houses or villages or towns are my absolute favorite. I need to make me one.
ReplyDeleteI am finally catching up on some blog reading and wanted to let you now how much I love your version of this quilt! It looks wonderful in solids, and the subway sign print is just fun!
