Follow My Lead

Although I'm not a fan of batik style fabric, the fabrics designed by Alison Glass in her handcrafted line drew me in.  The saturated colors called to me first, but the second benefit is the patchwork motifs in the designs. I choose the Follow My Lead pattern for these fabrics because of the flying geese in the prints and the pattern.



As I was making this quilt I realized that it was time to update my 6 year old son's bed with a new quilt, and so I added navy borders to the pattern to make it fit a twin.  He's super happy that he has his own quilt now. I love having handmade items for our home and was glad to get this on his bed.


This is my second finish for Quarter 2 of the 2017 Finish-A-Long.  You can see my original list here.

    I love your quilt and so nice to see a darker background colour, instead of the normal whites I so often see :)

    Hi Judy,
    I am not a huge fan of batiks (although I do use them sometimes!) either, and this quilt is just really fun and perfect. I can see why your son is so happy to have it for himself. ~smile~ Roseanne

    It's great how sometimes our quilts just fall into place.

    I like this one a lot! I checked out the pattern, it's originally 68 x 68. Did you add a row or two of blocks in addition to the wonderfully large borders?
