The third and final quilt made with the prettiest novelty fabric called Feather Flock by Tina Givens. Feather Flock came out in 2015 but some pieces are still available on Etsy. How can a little quilt this cute really be called a scrap quilt?
Quilting is straight lines on either side of the seam with a generous 3.4 stitch length and then down the middle with Aurifil 50wt. #2425 (light pink) and #2311 (muslin) on the back.
I sewed two left over minky pieces together as well as scrap batting for the interior. You can see here how the quilt lines from the front create those little pockets of minky puffiness that make this type of blanket so fun. I am still a big fan of dimple dot minky and an added bonus is how many colors are now available. Quilting with minky is always done with a walking foot, going slow and steady.
A little purple and some Kona white made a small border and binding is in hot pink. Perfect for it's new owner who just turned 9.
Novelty fabric does not always translate into cute quilts. But here you can see how simple quilt patterns like the 'snowball' and 'granny square' can work with bright, bold designs - especially when paired with a crisp Kona white.
There was something about the colors, the fairies and little birds with crowns that appealed to me and I have loved every quilt I made with this collection.
Luckily I had a left over granny square and some true scraps to make this funky block for myself ... I have no idea what to do with it for now ... but this block is staying with me!
