ON-POINT FAUNA | MINI HEIRLOOM COLLECTION | 122
You can try this with
any lace that you have!
This quilt features the folded fabric
technique to create the borders of each
quilt block, while a single decorative
embroidery step stitches out the center
design. This gives you the chance to
really let your fabric selection shine
through this quilt! Fabrics that feature
subtle, but interesting textures are
perfect for the borders, while a nice
basic white cotton or linen serves as the
perfect base fabric for the decorative
embroidery. Think about laces, linens,
and home decor fabrics as you’re
selecting your borders.
We showcased an almost “home-made”
lace fabric that we created using a
delicate lace appliqué fabric and muslin.
We adhered the lace to a strip of muslin
using Hotfix adhesive, which created
a one of a kind, sturdy lace, perfect for
folded fabric! You can try this with any
lace that you have, whether it’s lace that
you’ve saved from a wedding, curtains
from a family home, or even doilies that
have already been passed down for
generations! For a quilt as customizable
as this, you can really make it a
sentimental heirloom quilt.
A WELL-LOVED HEIRLOOM
