Felix & Fido Quilt Pattern
Our brand new quilt pattern, Felix & Fido, is here just in time for the holidays! (Hint: this pattern is great for gifts for the animal lovers in your life!!) This fat-quarter friendly quilt pattern includes instructions for baby (shown here) and twin sizes.
You may recognize these cute faces from our Puppy Dog and Kitty Cat Pet Mat patterns. For this quilt, we enlarged the blocks and put them in the same quilt to play together. Having the blocks this big means that this quilt doesn’t take a lot of time to piece, which is perfect for making quilts to gift.
For the background fabric, we used our go-to Moda Bella solid color, Bleached White PFD. The fabrics are various prints in the stash from Rifle Paper Co.’s English Garden line, Cotton+Steel basics, Art Gallery, Moda, and Anna Maria Horner.
For the backing, we used a print from Cotton + Steel’s Spectacle line. It’s a cheater hexagon print that includes so many fun patterns in one design. We especially love the watercolor scallops! We only wish they had made it so the prints of the hexagons in the middle could have matched up.
The binding is a print from Cotton + Steel’s Print Shop line by Alexia Abegg. We love that color of green! We used our favorite method of machine binding for a quick finish. You can see the tutorial for that here: Machine Binding Tutorial.
Since this quilt is relatively small, we quilted it on one of our domestic machines, using the walking foot and some fun straight and diagonal line motifs. For something like this, we usually let the quilt design dictate the lines, following the piecing to make sure the lines stay evenly spaced.
Are you ready to quilt up some furry friends of your own? We have this perfect pet pattern available in both PDF and Paper copy versions.
