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

  1. Such a beautiful quilt! Great colors, I just love the look of curved piecing, and this is a great variation on the Drunkard's Path. Lovely quilting too, you know I can never get enough of swirls.

  2. This pattern is a perfect fit for these fabrics! Your quilt turned out great. Love the name pincurls for the quilting name. Brings back childhood memories!

  3. Well of course I love this one-I mean it's IB fabrics!!! Great job on all of it Nancy, so glad you won that fabric-isn't it just an awesome feel to the fabric? I forgot to check does QC carry IB?

  5. How pretty! So cool that you made it with fabric from Kathleen too (and IB fabric at that)! What a nice incentive from QC too. Great idea on the purchase of the bolt; you'll be able to use that often!
