Mansfield Park Gate Quilt!!
I was so excited when my good friends at Riley Blake Designs asked if I wanted to make this new Mansfield Park Gate Quilt Kit!!! I mean, I love everything Jane Austen, so to have a Jane Austen at Home Fabric Collection, how can you not get excited about that!! This quilt was designed by Riley Blake and can I just say wow, talk about capturing the feel of the Regency period!!!
And when it came time to quilt it, I decided to do some fun custom quilting. I can't help but do arches when I have such perfectly pieced squares in a grid. And then some ribbon candy in the sashing and of course, more arches in the triangles. And for the center, I did a wavy cross grid. I wanted to add lots of movement, almost like the feel of vines growing on the gate. I think it was a perfect fit and added so much yummy texture!! And I love that I can always count on So Fine 402 Pearl to blend perfectly in all of these light and dark colors, my go to for the win every time!!
And this quilt is now going to be hanging at the Garden of Quilts. I am so excited, I mean, a garden gate quilt should fit pretty good in 100 acres of gardens ;) And if you love this quilts as much as I do, (and love some tiny piecing) you can make your own!!! The Mansfield Park Gate Quilt Kits are now available, and they even come in a beautiful keepsake box!! You are so going to love making this quilt!!!
And that is it for my Mansfield Park Gate Quilt :) Thank you so much for popping in and sharing it with me ;)
I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!
