Small Coloring Quilt with Embroidery

To make this quilt, we used the one-color design Eos by Evelyn De Morgan, which we colored in with fabric markers. The pieced borders match the friendly pastel colors of the design.

The finished size of the quilt is about 15" x 18.

You will need a fat quarter of light-colored batik, about 1/4 yard of batik in green hues, a piece of batting, backing and textile markers.

Cutting:

Out of light-colored batik, cut

  • a piece measuring 9 1/2" x 15 1/2" for the central panel,
  • several srips measuring 2 3/8" and the length of the width of the fabric. Subcut them into 20 squares measuring 2 3/8" x 2 3/8".
Out of light green batik, cut
  • 2 strips measuring 2" x 15",
  • a strip measuring 2 1/4" and the length of the width of the fabric. Subcut the strip into 20 squares measuring 2 3/8" x 2 3/8",
  • for the binding, several strips measuring 2 1/2" and the length of the width of the fabric. When sewn together their length should be not less than 70".

The Blocks:
