A scrappy quilt featuring 2 antique style blocks & a border inspired by the architectural features of our former store in the Nicholas Building.

Too many fabrics are never enough, we have used over 100 glorious fabrics including many Liberty tana lawns in this scrappy quilt and refreshed its traditional style with this eclectic mix of fabric types and styles. Although machine pieced it can easily be adapted if you prefer hand piecing. The quilt features 2 old blocks, one a modification of a Centre Diamond block and the other is a traditional Amish block, (as referenced in Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Quilt Patterns) and the wide border is inspired by the decorative cornice on the ceiling of the room in The Nicholas Building where l’uccello was once located. The room number was number 5, so we thought that name would be a nice way to remember the old store.

Finished size approximately 78” wide x 78” length. (Approx 198cm x 198cm)

Kit includes:

100 different fat 1/16ths -26 of which are Liberty Tana Lawn, each bundle will include most of the fabrics inour original quilt as pictured on the pattern.

Please note: the photo of the kit features just a portion of the fabrics in the kit, it has been selected at random and may differ slightly from the one you receive.

Border fabric

Bias binding made from our own l’uccello designed woven fabric

Backing fabric is not included. For the backing of our quilt we used two different l’uccello linens, to replicate this, you will need 2.2 metres of Virginie DV5150 and 2.2 metres of Rosalie in Blossom Pink DV5155. We used the full width of Virginie and the rest in Rosalie so that the composition is asymmetrical.

If you chose to do the whole back in one of the linens or if you prefer regular quilting fabric you will
need 4.4 metres.
