Gift for student: Patchwork Quilted Throw

A bright and practical gift for a student who wants to add some colour and personality to bland standard accommodation. This quilt also provides a warm, wrap around hug from home when there's some late night studying to be done! A beautiful patchwork throw. The limited colour palette gives centre stage to the individual patchwork blocks. Known as a 'sampler quilt' because of the variety of patchwork techniques demonstrated across the whole piece. The blue, white and chartreuse blanket measures 58" (148cm) square. Ideal to use as a throw on a sofa, bed or lounger. The outer fabrics (patchwork front and back) are 100% cotton. Sandwiched between is a layer of EcoBlend wadding made from recycled fibres: 70% cotton, 30% polyester. This makes the quilt a warm but breathable blanket ideal for snuggling under on a chilly evening as well as adding enough weight to a duvet to keep away the winter chills. The quilting pattern is echoed arcs of stitching spreading across the quilt, holding the layers together and adding texture without distracting from the patchwork designs. Machine washable on a gentle cycle. Designed and made in my smoke-free, pet-free sewing studio. I will send the quilt to you, carefully packaged, via Royal Mail Tracked 48hr.
