Stacked Squares in My Darling Deer!!

Today I am super excited to be sharing this beautiful new Stacked Squares quilt finish with you featuring the oh so adorable My Darling Deer Collection by Michal Marko for Poppie Cotton!! And can I say, I just love this quilt!!!  We find out soon if our first Grandchild will be a boy or girl, but I think this little baby quilt will work for either :)  

The Stacked Squares quilt is such a fun one to make!!!   And it is perfect for fabric lines that have lots of beauitful low volumes, just like this My Darling Deer Collection.  I used Fat quarters and divided my prints into the deep dark purples and blues for the print chain, and then used all of the pretty white and pinks for the low volume background.  And then all you need is a backing and binding, so fun!!! 

Stacked Squares it truly is a great beginner quilt!!   It goes together quick and is super fun to make.   Again, it is all about playing with those low volumes and making sure your print fabrics really contrast from the background :)    It is made with simple block piecing, and then rotating the blocks to create the stacked chain.  

 

And it just comes together to make such a pretty finish!!!  Low Volume backgrounds just add so much to a quilt!!  I actually designed this quilt because my stash of Low Volume Fat Quarters was getting a little to big to fit in the bin anymore.  Ya know, we open that beautiful Fat Quarter Bundle use all of the pretty prints, and then stack up the Low Volumes for another project.   Well this is the project made just for them  ;)  

When it came time to quilt this, I decided on an all over echoed Paisley design :)  I just love how flowy it is, and has a fun whimsical feel that matches the prints.   And of course, so much yummy texture is added to the quilt with all of that dense quilting!!!  I used a soft pink thread, and it blended perfectly ;)   Just so charming!!! 

 And  Stacked Squares has multiple size options, so you can make whatever size you like. This is the baby size, but you can make all the way to a king size ;)  And it really is great for Beginners to Experts alike, it is just a super fun quilt to make!!  You can use Fat Quarters or really get to work on your Scrap Bins.  Either way, you will have a beautiful finish! 

And that is my Stacked Squares Quilt! I hope you have enjoyed this post and consider making your own Stacked Squares Quilt!!! And if you do, I would love to see it!
