Today it’s my turn on the Zakka Home book tour! Zakka Home is Sedef Imer’s second book full of modern and stylish projects for your home.
Most of the projects in the book are simple items such as bags, pouches, table toppers and pillow covers that can be finished in an afternoon. There is one quilt pattern in the book which of course pulled me right in 🙂 The Take Me Home quilt is a nice generous size throw but goes together quickly. I had this top pieced in a day.
I loved how Sedef arranged her version of the quilt in color order and decided to arrange my version the same way. I used this brand new Garden Variety fabric line by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics. 
Lately I’ve been enjoying the process of quilting up a quilt top again. I went with 3/4in spaced straight lines for my Take Me Home quilt. Straight lines always make for fast and easy quilting that looks nice and modern when finished. 
I backed my Take Me Home quilt in a grey Essex Linen. I’ve backed a few quilts in Essex Linen now but can’t really advise if this is a good idea or not yet since none of them have been washed 😉 I used linen in this case because I didn’t have anything else on hand that would work. But I love linen! It makes for really warm quilts which is why I like to include it when possible. We need some really warm quilts up here in Northern Michigan 😉
The Take Me Home Quilt is finished off with a solid navy binding. I wanted a binding that would frame the quilt nicely and navy does just that. This navy is a Moda Bella Solid.
You can find Sedef’s beautiful new book Zakka Home on Amazon. It is full of fun projects that are perfect for around the house of gift giving.
