Jumping Jack Quilt

I have been so involved with creating totes and handbags lately that I was just "jonesing" to start a quilt. I have been hanging on to my stash of Katie Jump Rope for some time, only making small items like dish towels with it, not wanting to use it up. But when I saw how the blues and greens looked all together I knew that it was meant for a quilt.




The Jumping Jack Quilt! Fun and playful, this lap sized quilt is a modern take on the classic quilt! Created with Denyse Schmidt's Katie Jump Rope fabrics. The patchwork design allows the clean and fresh patterns of the fabrics to shine through. Backed with light grey Kona Cotton and a touch of patchwork. Bound with bright red Dizzy Dots cotton canvas. Batting is 100% Cotton Warm and White. Machine quilted in a "loop-de-loop" design. Washed with mild soap and tumbled dry for that crinkly, soft touch. Measures 43 x 36". A perfect snuggle sized quilt for the crib, couch or carry along. In the shop! SOLD!!

I am once again participating in Sew and Tell Fridays over at Amy Lou Who's. Its been way too long! Head on over and take a look at more wonderful creations. Have a great weekend ya'll!

    Love the colors in this quilt. I'm hoping to do a quilt with this color scheme myself one day--but nothing is on the drawing board yet. Your striped fabrics really give the quilt some extra pizazz.

    I love it when "I never would have though of it" meets "I love it"! Such a clever use of KJR!

    Love it! And I heard somewhere that blue and green weren't supposed to be used together. I think they were crazy, I LOVE blue and green together!! Glad to see you back!
