{"product_id":"acufactum-a-handmade-winter-kit-winter-time-quilt","title":"Acufactum A Handmade Winter KIT {Winter Time Quilt}","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is such a lovely winter quilt — soft, cozy and wonderfully simple in its construction, while still having that very special \u003cstrong\u003eAcufactum\u003c\/strong\u003e look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centre of the quilt is made from the beautiful \u003cstrong\u003eWinter Time Stripes\u003c\/strong\u003e fabric, allowing the illustrated motifs to really shine. Around it is a scrappy patchwork border made from a wonderfully coordinated mix of \u003cstrong\u003eEmma Cocoa, Emma Thyme, red and white dots, Watercolor Green, Fine Stripes, anthracite stripes and soft taupe dots\u003c\/strong\u003e. The little squares are arranged around all four sides of the quilt, either randomly as shown in the book or in whatever combination you prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI especially love the contrast between the large illustrated centre and that simple pieced border. It gives you the charm of a patchwork quilt without requiring hundreds of tiny pieces — and it is such a beautiful way to showcase the Winter Time fabric collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is made from \u003cstrong\u003ecream bouclé plush\u003c\/strong\u003e, making this much more than a decorative quilt. It is wonderfully soft and cozy to curl up under during the colder months. The book suggests quilting along the stripes of the centre fabric and then stitching in the ditch around the centre and each of the patchwork squares, adding just enough quilting to give the finished quilt texture without taking away from the fabrics themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than a traditional binding, the quilt is finished with a neat \u003cstrong\u003efacing\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the front a clean, uninterrupted edge. Folded fabric triangles are also added at the four back corners as part of the finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt really is the sort of quilt you want to keep folded over the back of a favourite chair or sofa all winter long. Acufactum describes it beautifully — a combination of coordinated winter fabrics with an irresistibly soft plush backing, made for cozy moments throughout the cold season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished size:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately \u003cstrong\u003e54\" × 67\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level: Confident Beginner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*The complete pattern, cutting measurements and sewing instructions for the Winter Time Quilt are found in the \u003cstrong\u003eA Handmade Winter\u003c\/strong\u003e book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*\u003cstrong\u003eKIT INCLUDES all of the fabrics needed to make the quilt top and patchwork border, fabric for the facing and corner details, cream bouclé plush for the backing.
