Fire quilt

So, my mom wanted me to make her a quilt for her and my dad. When I was trying to figure out a pattern and color scheme, I decided I wanted to make them one for their camper. They like to be at the beach or a lake when they go camping so I thought these fabrics work so well in representing a lakeside campfire. Every time I see these pictures, I want to sit in a nice comfy chair by a cozy fire and snuggle up with this quilt (maybe even have a fruity umbrella drink in my hand) ahhhh....

These fabrics are 2.5" precut strips from timeless treasures.The pattern I got from my quilt shop, I can not remember the designer but I believe it was called sea glass. I did tweak the pattern a little bit by adding an extra row. The original was a 3x3 and I wanted to make sure it was big enough for a grown man to snuggle with it.

There is Emma again! silly girl.

You can not really see the quiting, it is a medium size meander in a variegated thread. For the binding I did the fold over from the backing fabric. I will do a tutorial on that in the near future. Basically after you are done quilting, cut the batting even with the quilt top and then cut the backing fabric 1" wider than the quilt top. Fold in half and iron and then fold it again and stitch it down. Super easy, super fast.
