Cozy Cottage

Cozy Cottage, Useful Remnants 2022
Sweet vintage style prints are the perfect choice for this quilt. Soft aqua, green, lilac, and blue fabrics remind me of a country getaway spot or a beach house.


I used EQ8 to experiment with color placement before cutting the 12” blocks. This snuggly 48” throw was quilted with light gray thread, using a wiggly wave ruler. The backing is a cream vine design.



I may just brew a cup of tea and settle in with Cozy Cottage quilt and a good book. 


By the way, for those who are keeping track, my final 2022 project count was 50.  I was a busy girl!  


Happy New Year everyone!
