My Les Fleurs Gingham Quilt (Rifle Paper Co. Florals)

Hello, my quilty friends!

I finished binding my gingham quilt and then ran outside to take a picture with the amazing sky! I love this version so much! 😍

How I made the gingham

To make the gingham pattern, I used fabric from the Les Fleurs collection by Rifle Paper Co. for Cotton + Steel. The pattern is by Jenny Lasslett, and you can find it in issue 46 of Love Quilting magazine.

Pick one print in a few shades. The same little floral in a dark and a light shade, plus white, is what makes it look like gingham.

The quilting, the back and the binding

Abby (@alatimer) quilted wavy lines on it for me. It's a pattern I use often and love for its simplicity. Thanks, Abs! I LOOOOVE how it turned out!

The backing is from the Sugar Pie collection by Lella Boutique for Moda. When I got the quilt back, I couldn't decide on a binding, but I was leaning toward a solid navy, and I'm so happy I went with it.

And thanks to Dave (@statelytype) for being such an outstanding quilt holder-upper. 🏆
