Still a bit under the weather. I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day! Since I have no zigzags to share (glad I made two yesterday), I thought I'd share a future project.
I've been drooling, absolutely DROOLING, over the Kantha Quilt jackets sold at Material Obsession in Australia. Have you seen them? Take a moment and see what I'm talking about HERE. The jackets are made from Kantha quilts, which in turn are made from old saris. But they are pricey!
Not long ago I noticed a sale at Joss and Main on Kantha quilts. So I snapped one up and was thrilled when it came in the mail! Above is one side.
And below is the other side.
It is quilted by hand. I wish you could feel how SOFT and CUDDLY this quilt is! And I love that little patch quilted in place above - so real and beautiful.
I had the quilt for a few weeks before I found a jacket pattern to use:
I like this pattern because both sides of the quilt will be visible. If possible, I'll make the jacket reversible, and a bit longer. It says it's a two hour pattern. Let's hope so! The weather is cooling off now so I think I need to get busy on this! I'm hoping to use the scraps to make pillows or bags. Hope I get to it soon!
