Hello everybody! Today’s post is sure to especially appeal to those readers who love sewing and quilting, as well as those who enjoy classical paintings. It’s a lovely free sewing pattern designed by Elisabeth Hardy that uses Robert Kaufman fabrics to compose a quilted rug with perspective. With perspective? Yes, because its clever design represents a very flowery window with four panels placed in perspective, so that the blooming motifs framed by them acquire a certain depth.
In addition, this project makes the most of a wonderful panel fabric featuring four flower vase paintings by the famous French impressionist painter, Renoir. Of course, you can find this and many other Robert Kaufman fabrics in our kawaii shop. So to lovers of fine arts, fine fabrics and sewing machines… let’s get to work!
This pattern is very easy to make, as it is recommended for beginners. As you will see in the photos below, it uses strips of fabric and rhombuses to create a beautiful outer purple frame, while the inner frames around the flower vases are in tan tones. The final size of the project is about 91.4cm x 104cm, so it can serve as quilt for a crib or child’s bed, although the pictorial nature of the pattern may also encourage use as wall hanging, like a tapestry or a painting.
Remember that we love to see and share what you do with your talent and our products, both here on the blog, so we encourage you to send us photos of the project once it is finished. We hope you enjoy it!
