We spend a lot of time travelling between our farm and our house in town, a distance of a couple of hours. My Sweetness usually drives and likes to have the air-conditioning in the car set on 'fridge' temperature to keep him awake. Inevitably, I sit shivering in the passenger's seat. I made this cuddly quilt to travel with me!
I thought I might put together a tutorial for this quilt. It is a quick and fun way to use those layer cakes that are accumulating in the cupboard!
love bliss........it is beautiful I have just made a project with it......nice quilt........
ReplyDeleteReally lovely, very pretty fabric.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful! Are those flannels or cotton? Love the raw edges.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Those big patches show off the fabric beautifully. I'm just quilting my Bliss quilt now, it's just such a sweet line.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect solution!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. We spend so much time doing craft for other people - it is good to remember ourselves sometimes too. Love the shaggy quilts like this. Cherrie
ReplyDeleteI would love to read your tutorial. I thought I saw Bliss flannels. Is that what you used? A car quilt is a great idea. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteLUV your quilt and a tutorial would be great! I have flannels to make one of these quilts but have yet to attempt it!
ReplyDeletePretty pretty! I completely understand how you feel during those "fridge" car trips. This quilt is the perfect solution.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, what pretty fabrics. My hubby likes to keep it between fridge and freezer as well so I completely understand.
ReplyDeleteCall me ignorant, but I would love you to do a tute on this style of patchwork. I would love to make a cushion in this manner...by the way your quilt is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteI was just checking this out on Flickr....lovely Ros :-)
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with my husband when traveling, and have been thinking of doing a quilt for myself too :-) but you were much quicker, I am still in the planning phase :-)
ReplyDeletelovely quilt, well done!
Kristina

It's just so pretty and totally cozy. Love those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt and love "Bliss" Are you going to to a tutorial on the quilt. I have the same problem with my husband, he says he needs it to stay awake. I would like to make one too.

It looks so cosy, that was a good idea. I'll look forward to a tutorial.
ReplyDeletePlease, please, please do the tutorial! I have not yet made my first quilt, because I want to do something simple (like just squares), but I want it to look cool & I think this would be the perfect thing!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely, very pretty fabric. I would like to make one too.The colors are marvelous.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I'd love to see a tutorial on this. I've got a couple of layer cakes but can't quite decide what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt and the story that goes with it. We have a lake house 2 hours from home and my husband also likes to drive at sub zero temps!
