Hello and welcome to Inflorescence Designs. I am so joyful you are here! Today is my day for the Sew a Story: It Takes a Village Blog Tour hosted by Jennifer Long.

The “It Takes a Village” fabric line by Riley Blake Designs was so fun to work with. I chose to work with their 10″ pre-cut and yardage.

For this project I found a fun pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Company. The pattern is called Skateboards, and you can purchase it HERE. You can also watch a FREE YouTube video tutorial, and it contains a lot of the information you need to make the quilt. Find that tutorial HERE. The pattern is called Skateboards, but I think they look like little Matchbox Cars! I plan to gift this quilt to my nephew who loves them. Here are the supplies I used to create my version of the Skateboards quilt.  

 

Supplies:

• (1) It Takes a Village 10" Stacker
• Background fabric 1 1/2 yards
• Wheel Fabric 1/8 yard
• Backing 4 yards
• Binding 1/2 yard
• SpraynBond Basting Spray
• Batting
• Basic Sewing Notions
• Oliso Iron
• Olfa Cutting Mat and Rotary Cutter
• Skateboards Pattern

For this quilt I used each fabric design. Since it has 25 cars/skateboards on it I did have to double up one color. This quilt came together really quickly using the chain stitching method. I chose a simple wavy stitch to quilt this with and I love the way it turned out! Thanks for joining me today! I hope you enjoy this blog tour. Be sure to check out Deb Zaleski's project for the tour as well! Find that project HERE! Continue to bloom by choosing JOY ~ Julia
