Jen's SOOO Pretty Quilt

jen o quilt.jpg

jenoquiltpattern.jpgJen just finished this "O" quilt top from a pattern by Fig Tree Quilts. The traditional pattern features a strong grid that shows off the delicate prints and colors Jen used. Like the sample quilt, the soft, happy colors of Jen's quilt rest against a warm neutral background.

Jen gave the background extra detail with Yuwa Stripes. She chose a variety of small, detailed prints in yuwa roses.jpgorange, cream, and light green by Yuwa Fabrics, including this retro Roses print. Yuwa is known for its sun-bleached, cheerful prints, which fits Jen to a T. 

This quilt will look great at a beach picnic or folded at the foot of a bed with a cat napping on it.
