Hello and welcome to Inflorescence Designs. I am so joyful you are here! Today is my day for the Sew a Story: It Takes a Village Blog Tour hosted by Jennifer Long.
The “It Takes a Village” fabric line by Riley Blake Designs was so fun to work with. I chose to work with their 10″ pre-cut and yardage.
For this project I found a fun pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Company. The pattern is called Skateboards, and you can purchase it HERE. You can also watch a FREE YouTube video tutorial, and it contains a lot of the information you need to make the quilt. Find that tutorial HERE.
The pattern is called Skateboards, but I think they look like little Matchbox Cars! I plan to gift this quilt to my nephew who loves them.
Here are the supplies I used to create my version of the Skateboards quilt.
Supplies:
- (1) It Takes a Village 10″ Stacker
- Background fabric 1 1/2 yards
- Wheel Fabric 1/8 yard
- Backing 4 yards
- Binding 1/2 yard
- SpraynBond Basting Spray
- Batting
- Basic Sewing Notions
- Oliso Iron
- Olfa Cutting Mat and Rotary Cutter
- Skateboards Pattern
For this quilt I used each fabric design. Since it has 25 cars/skateboards on it I did have to double up one color. This quilt came together really quickly using the chain stitching method.
I chose a simple wavy stitch to quilt this with and I love the way it turned out!
Thanks for joining me today! I hope you enjoy this blog tour. Be sure to check out Deb Zaleski’s project for the tour as well! Find that project HERE!
