A New "Happy As Clarry" Bubba Quilt Recipe

I love cooking up new quilts and this one is absolutely gorgeous. Inspired by the Liberty of London print Clarricoates, I'm calling this beautiful bubba quilt "Happy As Clarry". I love this Liberty print - it is bright and funky and includes one of my favourite colour combinations --> Purple, Mustard and Teal.

I found coordinating printed fabrics in the Daydream Fabric Line by Benartex, at Textile Traders, and picked a gorgeous bright teal, mustard and purple from the 100% Homespun Cotton range at Carols of Midland. This quilt is so vibrant, and it's edgy and pretty at the same time. I'm so excited to see it all sewn together.

 

A Bubba Quilt For A Beautiful Baby Girl

I couldn't wait to give this gorgeous little quilt to my beautiful friend at her baby shower today! I was itching to show her pictures as I was making it - to make sure the colours would match the nursery - and from what I saw of other gifts she recieved, the colours match perfectly. Phew!!!

Here's how I went:

A Beautiful Little Quilt For A Beautiful Little Boy

This was the first quilt I made from start to finish all by myself, and I couldn't be happier. A lovely friend of mine is expecting a beautiful baby boy in November and I wanted to make her something special for her baby shower.

As it was my first attempt, I kept to the basic patchwork squares and mixed a combination of three solid colours with three patterned fabrics. My inspiration was this Liberty of London Amelia Star print that we had left over from Logan's baby bag.

There aren't a lot of great fabric stores in Perth, but I thought I'd try my luck at the local Textile Traders in Morley - and jackpot! I found the most perfect stripe by Alexander Henry. It's called Ric*Rac and comes in a bunch of colourways, with this bright and funky print being my favourite.

The circles print is an unknown designer - I bought it in Cairns a couple of years ago. And the solids are 100% Homespun Cotton from Carols of Midland. I love how bright and fun the colours are.

It was so fun to work on this beautiful little quilt. Now all it needs is a chubby squeaking little bundle rolling around on it!
