Ric Rac Quilt

Here's a recent finish for me--my Ric Rac quilt!!! This design is made using the QCR Mini ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful, and a free pattern on their website, here.

The fabrics were a bundle of Sweet Tweets Island Batik fabrics that I won on Kathleen's blog, here. You can also see the clever quilt Kathleen made from her bundle of identical fabrics. Here's what they looked like out of the package:


I grouped my fabrics into 5 color families and worked on them one row at a time, using my design wall:

In an effort to use up every bit of fabric, my version is one section wider and one row longer than the original pattern. It finishes at 63" X 70".

I quilted it with a spiral pattern called "Pincurls":

Here's a view of the quilting from the back:

The background is Grunge White Paper, of which I bought an entire bolt last year as part of my anniversary purchase at Quilt Cove. More about that halfway down here.


I was able to make the binding from the leftover strips of fabric:

A big thank you and hugs to Kathleen, for the beautiful fabric! And thank you to Sew Kind of Wonderful for the fun, free pattern!
  
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
