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 fabrics in this scrappy quilt and refreshed its traditional style with an 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.

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

Instructions with colour illustrations.

This quilt features a fun variation of an old quilt block called Strength in Union, combined with a wonderful scrappy collection of fabrics. It is the perfect project to use up precious scraps or to collect a wide variety of new fabrics.

Kit includes:

Over 100 different fabrics, mostly fat 16ths, including fabrics by Liberty, Tilda, l’uccello, French General, Judy Newman, Di Ford, French General, Dutch Heritage to list just a few.

This collection of fabrics includes many of the fabrics in our original quilt as pictured on the pattern. Each kit will be very similar but may vary slightly for the one photographed.

There is over 6.8 metres of fabric in total, this should be sufficient for well over half the quilt, however it will depend on how much fussy cutting you prefer. (The kit contains 110 fat 16ths, the pattern requires approximately 179)

We do recommend adding any special fabrics from your stash that you think complement the selection, the scrappy look of this quilt only gets better with more fabrics.

The quilt was machine pieced but can also be done by hand if that is your preference, the kit includes the pattern.

The finished size of the quilt is approximately 80″ x 80″

Pre order kit & pattern, due to be shipped end of May.

Please note , it was not possible to include all of fabrics in the original quilt as some are old, out of print fabrics. However, many of the original fabrics are in the kits and they present a lovely selection very close to the original.
