Barton Cottage
The Barton Cottage quilt is a modern interpretation of the original Barton Park quilt. With it’s simple, yet stunning design, it makes a bold statement. I love the Barton Cottage quilt because you can literally make it in a day or two! It’s one of those fun, quick and satisfying makes that’s perfect for that last minute baby shower gift or to spruce up your home as a pillow or wall hanging.
sense & sensibility
classic
The Classic version of Barton Cottage looks very similar to block two in the Barton Park quilt pattern. It has a few more embellishments and add flying geese that create a stunning diamond shape.
contemporary
The contemporary version is the same as the classic version, but the block is set on point, which gives the quilt a completely new look!
eight patterns
in one
With two different versions of the quilt and four sizes, this pattern gives you 8 different options! There are so many fun ways to make this quilt. Let’s take a look!
Quilted pillow
Barton Cottage quilt makes the most adorable quilted pillow. I especially like the contemporary version made up into a pillow, but both versions are so cute.
Britt @stitchingb made this modern quilted pillow in the classic version. I love her color choices and the quilting pattern she chose. So stunning!
With how quickly these come together, Farrah, @farrah.handmade was able to make two quilted pillows!! I love how different each one is. That first version in Wild Forgotten prints is so soft and beautiful. But I love how those bright yellows and golds just pop against the navy background.
And here’s my quilted pillow in the contemporary layout. I had a lot of fun pulling out some of my favorite woven and linen fabric for this quilted pillow. They add so much gorgeous texture!
Wall hanging
I’ve recently had this strong desire to decorate my home with more quilts! They add such visual interest and showcase my love of quilting so perfectly. For Christmas this year, I hung a large Christmas tree quilt right in my front room and it gave the house such a festive feeling all season long. The Barton Cottage wall hanging is 24″ square so it’s the perfect size for a smaller spot that needs that extra bit of color or interest.
I absolutely love this little spot Amanda @graccione chose for her contemporary wall hanging. Doesn’t it look so perfect there?? Amanda is a master at mixing prints and this beautiful wall hanging is no exception. I’ll never say no to a Rifle Paper Co floral.
I’m not sure if you remember Amanda Smith’s @thequiltsmith earthy and sumptuous Barton Park quilt, but she used the same color palette and some of the same fabrics to create her wall hanging. I’m absolutely in love with these rich, forest inspired colors. Now I’m ready for a quiet walk in the woods.
I had so much fun pulling out these saturated colors and textured fabrics for my wall hanging. This is the classic version and I found this awesome wood wall hanger on Amazon that’s just perfect. This one got the hand quilting treatment and it’s just so crinkly.
baby quilt
I’m sure as a quilter you’ve had a friend who decided at the last minute they just have to have a hand made quilt for their soon to arrive little one and you’ve been scrambling to get a quilt made in time! Right?? Well, this pattern is the perfect solution. You can literally make it in a day if you have a few hours to commit to the task and it turns out so fun and modern. The perfect addition to any nursery.
Did you make or purchase the Barton Park quilt? Well Mary @embercraftcompany decided to make an entire Barton collection and made the Barton Park throw plus the Barton Cottage baby and pillow sizes. How perfect is this??? I love how these patterns work together so beautifully.
How gorgeous are these colors and fabrics that Victoria @midlifequilter put together? She’s always got the most romantic and dreamy photos and this Barton Cottage quilt is no exception.
Throw quilt
It’s hard to resist making that perfect throw size, am I right? The one that fits exactly on your lap and is perfect for cuddling? The Barton Cottage throw is 60″ square and is my favorite size quilt. It looks gorgeous in both versions and is so fast to make!
I think I fell off my chair when Lynn @lynncycle sent me these photos. I mean, wow!! Gorgeous. You can make this exact quilt if you want. The Fabric Haus has a kit! I love that floral from the Art Gallery Fabric Velvet collection. So pretty.
And how gorgeous are these reds and golds? I love that moth print from the Kismet collection. I think Alicia @modernvintagehandmade will have kits for this one too!
I hope you love this new pattern! Barton Cottage is so fun to make and is that perfect quick project! Give all my testers some love, they are truly talented makers and I couldn’t make this happen without them.
I hope you enjoy making Barton Cottage and let me know what you think of the pattern!
I hope you feel inspired to make your own Barton Cottage quilt! Thank you for being here and for all the encouragement. I couldn’t do what I love without your support!! Happy Sewing!
xoxo, Sara Marie
