The unique, handmade Double Joy patchwork quilt. Named for Joy, my partner's late mother who was a talented soft furnishings designer and maker. Many of the textiles in this quilt came from her stash of high end interior decor fabrics, and the layout of the patchwork was inspired by the small patchwork bag that she made, shown in the final image. The Double Joy patchwork quilt is a labour of love and a total one-off.
The Double Joy patchwork quilt is made by hand using vintage and antique textiles, including the William Morris Golden Lily design. The back is creamy white antique French linen metis sheets, embroidered with the initials JP. Filled with bamboo wadding which was the option that appeared to us to have the best eco attributes, although we do understand that bamboo fibre is not without issues. Hand quilted in a linear design with 100% cotton thread.
We shot this quilt on a kingsize bed and you can see that it drapes beautifully over the edges, and it would look even more luxuriously generous on a double bed. Delivered in a drawstring bag made of undyed, antique cotton.
We've also made two matching scatter cushions.
Size: approx 195 x 215cm.

Double Joy patchwork quilt care instructions: all of the textiles have been carefully pre-washed, but the wadding has not. When you first launder this, the wadding may shrink slightly creating an even more distinctive and beautiful quilted texture. We recommend spot cleaning where possible but if you do need to wash the whole quilt, then handwash with a delicate detergent and dry flat.
Materials
Materials
One-off or highly limited edition items created from post-project interiors fabrics, antique and vintage textiles that are no longer usable as a whole plus antique and vintage textiles left from Forget Me Not Originals bookbinding process.
Most materials 100% natural like cotton or linen, however due to their nature we cannot confirm the composition.
Sustianability Excellence
Sustianability Excellence
These pieces are created to ensure exisiting materials are fully honoured and loved rather than set aside as waste.
We start making larger items like the dresses and patchwork quilts. As the textiles offcuts get smaller so do the projects. To use the smaller left-overs we have created items like our facial wipes.
These are all part of our 'Low Waste to Zero Waste' journey.
