Anita’s Vintage Seed Packets quilting
collection! These quilt blocks feature
beautifully embroidered vegetable
and flower designs, reminiscent of
seed packets you might pick up at
the farmer’s market! Each quilt block
features burlap for the folded fabric
borders, just like the burlap sacks seen
on a farm or in the garden. Alternate
between light and dark brown burlap
for a vintage look without being too
matchy-matchy. When pieced together
into a quilt, the light and dark burlap
perfectly frame out each design. This
quilt would look great with shabby chic
furnishings and rustic farmhouse decor!
Since the weave of the burlap is quite
open, placing a solid color underneath
ensures that the quilt batting does
not peek out through the holes in the
burlap; we chose a solid tan cotton for
this. For a crisp finish, we recommend
pressing any folds with an iron after
their folding stitch step, and once more
after the tacking stitch.
