This gorgeous, one of a kind throw quilt is generously sized, measuring about 82 inches square (208 cm). Wonderful for decor and snuggling alike, it is perfect for your livingroom or family room. Chalk full of warm and welcoming charm, the beautiful patchwork uses a unique blend of appealing cotton fabrics and piecing.
Each patchwork house has a different patchwork block in it and is made from a coordinating line of fabrics called Clementine's Bonnet. This little village of houses is surrounded by coordinating borders and rows of those cute scrappy patchwork trees.
With a soft flannel backing it is perfect for snuggling.
Quilting is done with a freemotion paisley design. This means freehand machine stitching, not computer. Binding is the same flannel as the back and attached by machine for added durability.
All aspects of the quilt, from fabric choice to cutting, stitching, quilting and finishing, were completed by myself, in my rural Ontario home. (smoke and pet free) Collectively, there are many, many hours of work and care represented in this quilt.
Additionally, I have washed this quilt once so that you don't have to be intimidated by the laundering process. It is preshrunk, colorfast, and fabrics are soft and pliable with that old fashioned crinkly look that is typical of handmade quilts.

Features
I always use quality fabrics and thread. In addition, I am conscientious about making sure I use a full seam allowance. I never leave fabrics holding together by a few threads. This ensures a quality, handmade item, that will withstand normal care and use for many years.
The inner batting layer is usually Pellon or Hobbs 80/20. Occasionally I use a bamboo batting.
Binding is always double thickness and attached by machine for added durability, with neat mitered corners.
The nice thing about quilts is that the more you use them the softer and more snuggly they become. Don’t be afraid to use them wherever you want to be. After all, we wear cotton fabrics everyday in our clothes… your quilt won’t fall apart before it gets well loved!
Care
Care
I have often washed my own quilts in with a regular wash load, with no regrets. However, it is still recommended to use a gentle cycle, mild soap and tumble drying on low heat. (** Note: I rarely prewash my fabrics. Expect a small amount of shrinkage on the first laundering.) It is the tumble drying that achieves the soft crinkly look that we associate with handmade quilts. If you prefer a flatter look, lay flat to air dry… do not dry in the dryer.
Remember that sunlight will fade any fabric, and your quilt is no exception. So; have a care when you leave it outside frequently or in a sunny window.
