Sprouts Sprouted Quilt - HQM Quilt 1

Well, it's the end of Week 1 of the Happy Quilting Marathon and I am excited to share my first Happy Quilting Marathon Quilt. It's Called Sprouts Sprouted and I just love it in all of it's Low Volume Goodness!!! Isn't it just so perfect for Spring :)

This pattern is one of the Exclusive Patterns from my Sew Sampler Box back in 2019 called Sprouts. I loved it when I originally saw it, and knew I needed to make it someday. So when I had a bunch of Sherri and Chelsi Low Volume Prints left at the end of last year, I decided it was time to make up this quilt. Only, I had more fabric than the pattern needed, and I didn't want to add to my scrap drawers, so I sized up the blocks to finish at 16" and I just love them!!! The pattern now finishes at 65" x 80" so it is a great size to snuggle up with :)

Like I said, I used a lot of extra Low Volume prints that I had all from different Sherri and Chelsi lines for the background. I just love how they all blend together so perfectly :) For the prints, I used Seashore Drive :) This is a brand new line that is coming out any day, but I had extras leftover from some secret sewing and I didn't want to fold it all back up again, especially when I knew it would go so perfectly with all of the beautiful Low Volumes. And you know, I just love the purples in this line!!!

And I actually quilted this on Tuesday, and it has taken until now to get the binding on, gotta love how life gets crazy :) I quilted it with large, open center swirls, and I just love how they add a bubble effect to the quilt. And like always, good ol' 402 Pearl blended perfectly in all of these light and dark colors, love it!!

I just love how this one turned out and think it will make a beautiful wedding quilt, don't you!! I tell you what, this totally just has me wanting to make more quilts with low volume backgrounds. They are just so fun!!!!
