When I saw their latest collection, Home Sweet Home, I knew I needed to make a quilt with it as a gift. My mother-in-law (who is also my next-door neighbor) was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and she has been on quite the treatment journey. This seemed like the perfect collection for her.The collection is a little unusual because it has lots of low-volume prints, a few lighter-value prints, and one dark-value print. I figured I either needed to leave the dark green print out or use a pattern that would distribute it throughout the quilt. I settled on the Violet Quilt Pattern since it would let me use the dark green for the small squares, and the pattern only needs a fat quarter of that fabric, so it was perfect.Next, I needed to decide on a background fabric. I am least comfortable using green, but I am trying to be more adventurous with it, and it seemed like the best color for this collection. Most of the prints have a medium green accent somewhere in the design, and I thought a medium green background would be a nice balance between the single dark green print and all of the lighter prints in the collection. I went with Pure Solids in Rosemary.For the backing fabric, I used my favorite print from the collection. It is called Heritage Sampler, and it looks like a cross-stitch sampler with lots of different florals. The binding is the darker green print from the collection (it's called Farmhouse), which helps tie everything together.I decided to curve the corners and make bias binding. It just felt right for this quilt.

I love how the quilt turned out! We gifted it to my mother-in-law last week. While I always love making quilts, making something with a specific person in mind feels extra special.If you would like to make a quilt just like this, you can find Home Sweet Home in shops now, and you can find the Violet Quilt Pattern right here.
