Sweet Comfort Throw Quilt - The Plum One!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Today I'm sharing a Sweet Comfort quilt in beautiful plum Grunge fabrics!





The Sweet Comfort Quilt Pattern

Sweet Comfort includes 4 sizes - Throw, Twin, Queen, and King - and uses yardage of four fabrics.  The instructions are specific in where fabrics are placed, so you can easily reproduce this quilt in your own fabrics.


Quilt Kit Anyone?

This quilt has been kitted in the Throw size by Connecting Threads in beautiful blue batiks from their Abalone Batiks collection.  Click here to see it.



Oh, Those Plum Fabrics!

Sweet Comfort is made with four fabrics - can you believe it's just four?!?  This plum quilt is made with four different Moda Grunge fabrics, ranging from pale pink to deep plum.  Grunge fabrics add lovely depth and character to quilts, while still reading as solids.  I would have to say they are some of my favorite fabrics to use!

You will find Moda Grunge fabrics here and here.






Longarm Quilting

Sweet Comfort is quilted with a digital design called Tempest in plum threads on my Handi Quilter Fusion with ProStitcher.  The swirling waves add depth and texture to the quilt.




Quilt Binding

I've started to take pictures featuring the quilt binding on an entire side of the quilt.  Bindings work hard to keep your quilt together, and they are not to be forgotten!  It's pretty standard to use a double-fold of fabric in bindings since they receive so much wear over time.

Sweet Comfort Throw Quilt - The Good Vibes One in Blues!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Today I have a very happy Sweet Comfort quilt to share!  



Good Vibes Batik Fabrics by Robert Kaufman

The Good Vibes fabric collection includes a variety of colors, and I picked out the blues to create this Sweet Comfort quilt.  The vivid batik fabrics are so wonderful to work with.  The backing is also made from a fabric from the collection.  The deep blue background and binding fabric is a Quilter's Linen, also by Robert Kaufman.  You'll find the Good Vibes collection right here, and Quilter's Linen right here.

Would you believe that this quilt is made with four fabrics?  Yes, just four!  This simplifies fabric selection greatly - just choose four hues of your favorite colorway from very light to deep or bold, and you're all set!


Sweet Comfort Quilt Sizes

The Sweet Comfort quilt pattern includes 4 sizes.  

  • Throw
  • Twin
  • Queen
  • King

This quilt is the Throw size which measures a generous 55" x 74".  

The design goes together very simply and is much less complicated than it looks.  





Longarm Quilting

Sweet Comfort is quilted with a digital design called Tempest in bright blue thread on my Handi Quilter Fusion with ProStitcher.  The design creates waves of fresh water across the beautiful blue quilt.

Sweet Comfort Throw Quilt Kit in Abalone Batiks!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


My Sweet Comfort quilt pattern has been kitted in the Throw size by Connecting Threads in their beautiful Abalone Batiks fabric collection!



The Sweet Comfort quilt pattern includes four sizes - Throw, Twin, Queen, and King - and is made from only four fabrics!  Choose four hues in the same colorway, and you're set!

The Abalone Batiks fabric collection is a beautiful collection of purples, blues, and greens.  You can see the entire collection right here.

While Sweet Comfort looks complicated, I've broken down the entire process into simple steps, beginning with precise labeling of cut pieces which later tells you exactly when to use them in the process of sewing.  

This is the Sweet Caroline quilt I made in Good Vibes Batiks by Robert Kaufman.  You'll find these fabrics right here.


The Sweet Comfort Throw quilt kit is available at Connecting Threads.
