Liberty of London fabric for quilting

I'm as greedy as the next person when it comes to Liberty of London fabric and my collection that I'm building to make a quilt someday. I do share them with my mom though so we have a matching collection of our Liberty.

I would not say no to a fat quarter of each and every print Liberty of London has ever made in their entire long existence as a company. Their florals literally bowl me over. True Up blog recently did a nice post on how and where to get these fabrics.

Perhaps I have finally decided what to do with these fabrics, but then again, making a quilt with them would involve cutting them up.

If you were to make a quilt with Liberty of London fabrics, what pattern would you use?

Oh and for a visual treat, check out my beautiful sister's Catherine Wheel scarf - it's amazing! I am thinking of starting another one, really fun pattern to make.

More on the fiber/spinning convention next post - lots to say on that one.

  1. Gorgeous fabrics. I'm not sure I could cut them up... unless I was making something for my sister. ;)

  2. Who says you need a pattern? If these are great fabrics, maybe a whole cloth quilt is the way to go.

  3. I love liberty fabrics, too. I made a little dear Jane quilt as a baby quilt for my son. You can see it here :

    The quilt has 49 blocks and I used 51 different liberty fabrics, (even the white).
    I'm sure you will make a wonderful quilt with your liberty fabrics.
