The Remy Quilt in Egg and Friends
The cover quilt for the Remy Quilt Pattern is made with Egg and Friends, an upcoming breakfast-themed (!!!) fabric collection by Kim Kight for Ruby Star Society — and yes, it’s every bit as delightful as it sounds. I am a huge fan of all-things breakfast, so I immediately loved these fabrics. This collection has cereal boxes, honey bears, fruit, smiley faces, and (of course) eggs mixed in with plaids (which you know I love).
When I started planning the cover quilt, I knew I wanted to pair these fabrics with a brighter background instead of the usual white or cream — something that kept the quilt feeling light and happy without washing out the prints. I ended up choosing Speckled in Polar, a really pretty light blue that complements the Egg and Friends fabrics beautifully. It gives the quilt a fresh, airy feel and really lets the feature fabrics shine.
One of the things I love most about the Remy Quilt Pattern is that it works with fat quarters, fat eighths, or even scraps. I used fat quarters from this collection for this quilt which still gives the project plenty of fabric variety. The repeated sawtooth stars create movement and the result is a quilt that’s just… fun. It makes me smile every time I look at it.
Lately I’ve been loving small-scale prints for my bindings. I’ve used a lot of tiny florals in the past, but Egg and Friends has a print called Froot that is just too cute — it makes the sweetest binding and adds the perfect little pop around the edge of the quilt. For the backing, I used Speckled Wideback in Dove, which ties everything together nicely.
The quilting was done by my favorite long-armer, Heidi of Piece and Joy Quilting. She used one of her own pantographs, Heidi’s Orange Peel. This is the second or third project where I’ve requested this design, and I love the texture it adds every single time.
I’ll be sharing more versions of the Remy Quilt throughout the week, but this one felt like the perfect way to introduce the pattern: bright, fun, and a little bit unexpected.
If you would like to make a quilt just like this one, Egg and Friends is available for preorder now and you can pick up a copy of the pattern in my shop!
