Original Keepsake Quilt with Border - Equal Squares
The is my original keepsake quilt but with a border. I have a whole rainbow of organic cottons for the border. Let me know what colours you are drawn to, and I will send pictures of the options when the patchwork is sewn together. The patchwork is made up of equal sized squares that are cut to 6" and are around 5.5" when sewn into the quilt. The border is around 4.5” deep and is the perfect way to frame your keepsake quilt.

- All quilts come with a 100% cotton backing. A plain textured cotton is included as standard. Printed quilting cottons are available as an optional upgrade.

Each quilt is a three-layer keepsake, made using:
- Your patchwork items
- High-quality wadding (70% recycled cotton / 30% recycled polyester)
- 100% cotton backing
- All three layers are quilted together in the ditch of the items so the stitching is minimal on the front. The edges are finished with a 100% cotton binding in a complimentary colour.
I use my experience to ensure your items are showcased beautifully, preserving special details and motifs wherever possible.
