Brenda Riddle’s new “Sophie” fabric collection has finally shipped to quilt stores! Sophie is the sweet pink and green collection that I used for my
newest quilt pattern, By the Hours. With delicate florals and cheerful gingham prints, "Sophie" is perfect for a baby
quilt or any spring sewing project you may have in mind.
My By the Hours pattern
is a two-for-one, as it includes instructions to make both the baby quilt and
the coordinating nursery pillow. The quilt finishes at 38 1/2” x 44 1/2” and
the pillow finishes at 16 1/2” square.
Fabric selection is
fairly easy. Begin with 8 coordinating fat quarters and then select a green for
the vine, a neutral for the background, and of course the binding and backing.
The material list will make both projects!
By the Hours is available as digital PDF pattern on my Etsy Shop.
You may remember that one
of my Instagram friends, Sigi, was kind enough to do the pattern testing on By the
Hours. She used a combination of Brenda Riddle and Lella Boutique pastels for her test samples. Sigi's generous spirit also extended to taking some pictures of her
finished samples so that I could share them with you. Thank you so much Sigi! You are a gem!
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful week, quilting friends!
