The Ultimate Home Decor Blog Hop from Quilted Delights

Welcome to Week 2 Day 2 of the Ultimate Home Decor Blog Hop by Island Batik.

I was sent a lovely bundle of River Valley designed for Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design by Kathy Engle. It should be hitting shops this month.

Creative Borders - April Island Batik Challenge from Quilted Delights

Lily Patch Pads. That is what I am calling this one. As I was making it, he white squares in the small nine patches along background fabrics remind me of flowers on lily pads.

This quilt came about in a unique way. It was made for the April Island Batik Challenge Creative Borders and Bindings and I actually designed the borders first. Then I figured out what I wanted in the center.

It actually started out Blue and Yellow in EQ8 and had an extra outer border, but I really wanted to play with the Cascadia strip set by Claudia ...

My April Island Batik Challenge from The Inquiring Quilter

The Island Batik Ambassador challenge for April was to create a quilt with creative borders and bindings.

In the midst of self isolation I have to admit I found it hard to be creative. But Spring was breaking out all around me and it was hard not to be happy at the sight. So I decided to make a Spring-inspired quilt.

I played around with the idea of bunnies for quite a while, with baskets and eggs as possible border inspirations but nothing jelled.

Creative Borders and Binding - The Other Side of April 2020 from Creatin' in the Sticks

The April Challenge for the
Island Batik Ambassadors is

background fabric from the Island Batik Neutrals collection (Yolk),

My March Island Batik Challenge from The Inquiring Quilter

The Island Batik Ambassador challenge for March was to create a quilt using the AccuQuilt GO! BOB die we were sent in our boxes back in January.

First off, let me tell you something about BOB (Block on Board) dies. They are specifically designed so you can cut out all the pieces for a block in one pass through the cutter. Since you can place up to six layers of fabric on the die, you can actually cut the pieces for six blocks at one time!
