Last week, Mallory and I collaborated on a very special quilt! We spent several days hand printing squares. We used masking tape, Washi tape, soft fabric paint and stamps to print dozens of squares. Each one is different, and we had lots of fun printing them up. It's no secret that I love crafts with paint. It was so relaxing and fun to just chat and print squares together. 
Next, the squares were cut into triangles and mixed in with some our our spoonflower collection and a few basic prints from the fabric store, like polka dots and stripes. We kept with a minimal color scheme so that the crazy mix of prints could shine.
Stay tuned for part two. Tomorrow we will share photos of the finished quilt and basic instructions to sew your first triangle quilt! xoxo. Elsie
that is going to look amazing- wow!

I've inherited a few vintage quilts, but I'd love to try my hand at making my own! Stop by my blog if you can for my latest- including but not limited to: thrift-store finds, cat print dresses, fresh baked pies, floral crowns, and even a give-away this week!

Quilts are some of the pieces that perfectly show great work of art. It combines creativity and dedication to come up with something that is truly worth keeping.
