Sherri's Trip Around the World

My friend, Sherri, from Alaska, sent me some pretty fabrics she had extras of.

I decided to use them in a Trip Around the World quilt.

 

 

 I was teaching this class and decided it was the perfect time to use these lovely fabrics.

 

 

 

 The back is a Tula Pink Free Fall extra wide.

 

 

See those little birds floating around among the

giant dots - love it!

I have a scrappy binding.

 

 

 I quilted cross hatching in the center and swirled the borders.

 

 

This is one of my favorite color combinations - I used an Amy Butler floral for my starting point in pulling fabrics.

 

 

Here's a shortened version of the fabric requirements and cutting to create this twin size, 75" x 99".

You could easily find detailed instructions online......somewhere out there!

 

Fabric requirements:

 

3/4 yard each of 7 colors for the center

1st border      3/4 yard

2nd border     7/8 yard

3rd border         1 yard

 

Cutting requirements:

 

Cut 7 strips @ 3 1/2" from each color which will give you 7 panels - sew them in the same order.

The borders should be cut the same 3 1/2" width.

(I used what I had on hand for borders)

 

 

Thank you, Sherri, for sharing your beautiful fabrics with me. I love this quilt!
