Baby Morris quilt in the works. : carolyn friedlander

Since I’m usually having to wait to share things in the works, it feels totally indulgent to be able to share some pics of an in-the-works quilt! This is a baby Morris quilt that I’m working on for a friend.

I like a project like this because it’s really just a big game of playing with fabric. And lawn. Geez. So soft. I keep my lawn fabrics in one bin/area, which makes the fabric pull an easy dive into that pile. I’ve got quite the mix of things.

There’s plenty of my new lawns, but also a heavy amount of Jen Kingwell’s lawns. Jen’s were actually a big starting point, because I couldn’t help but buy a bundle of them at a LQS recently. They’re so pretty! (BTW I plan/dream about making a Morris lawn for myself using hers and mine and whatever else…)

The fabric play is endless with a project like this. With each new piece, I get new ideas for color and print pairing. I find it to be super exciting and a massive mental break.

Other fabrics included are some Alexia Abegg, Woodland Clearing by Liesl Gibson and some Aneela Hoey, which is not lawn, but I love the color and print, so it made it in.
