Before one leaves on another an epic camping trip... one needs a new camper quilt for one's RV. Naturally.
This simple, easy to piece, easy to quilt and "perfect to showcase a fun fabric" pattern, is what I made this year for our camper quilt. It is called Easy Bricks, by Amy Smart at Diary of a Quilter, and can by found on the Moda Bake Shop site.
I used a layer cake of S'more Love by Cosmo Cricket for Moda. I took out a lot of the lighter prints which ended up in this baby quilt:
I replaced the lighter S'more Love prints with darker prints that coordinated from my collection. (As Amy did in the pattern, using 2 layer cakes and reserving the light prints for a different project.)
I pieced it and quilted it up on my machine using a white Aurifil 50 wt. and it is ready to go for our annual September RV adventure!

It's a great quilt for a trailer! You don't really need to go camping do you? Where you live looks just like a camp ground to me. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a comfortable quilt, just right for its purpose, what quilts are meant for. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, my Canadian husband was just explaining the annual RV migration to me yesterday. What a lovely quilt to take on holiday!
ReplyDeleteI took my newest quilt when we went camping, makes the RV a little more like home. Love your quilt, and the fabrics are perfect for an RV
ReplyDeleteI love all your handquilting! My 16 yr old is making this pattern for her first quilt. It's a good one!
