Bequest fabric - Plaid lap quilt: Over the past few weeks, I have been working on a project using Bequest fabrics, by Briar Hill Designs for RJR Fabrics. The ladies who make up the Briar Hill Designs team are fellow Canadians, and I’m happy to participate and support them!

The Bequest line is basically a gradient of blue fabrics, which is a really fun idea. I knew when I saw them that I wanted to try my hand at a plaid design to use all of the tones of blue. 

After a few sketches, I came up with this design that has skinny and thicker stripes. It was fun to piece! Each block is 7.5″ finished, and this lap quilt ended up at 43″ square. With the leftover fabric I had, I pieced a back to show off some of the beautiful prints. I did some basic straight line quilting in a grid to finish up, which I hoped complemented the plaid look. Overall, I’m really pleased with how it turned out!

RJR Fabrics Blog Hop: Today is my stop on the “What Shade Are You” blog hop over at RJR’s blog, Quilt With Love! 

I’m sharing more about the process of making this mini quilt, which uses RJR Cotton Supreme Solids and my Paper Cut No. 1 block (available for free on Craftsy.)

(This finish definitely counts towards my Finish-A-Long goals, and I’m linking up with Finish it up Friday, too!)

See you over at RJR!
