Week 34
a pile of fabric- blue addition
I had already made a start on the pink addition quilt. This quilt had me struggling for a while.
I made a start 3 times. I sadly and thankfully unpicked a fair amount of the quilt top.
I found some inspiration from pintrest.
I am so pleased I brought 1/4 mtr of plain homespun that were also the full width of the fabrics I was using. It ended up being less bitsy and came together quickly after that change!
Ironing out all those seams was very tedious!!
I choose to hand quilt using dmc thread matching the thread to the colour in the row I was stitching. I made sure not to do every row. Just enough.
Completed quilt
Both quilts are now washed and dry and ready for their new home- even with a week to spare!
a pile of fabric- pink addition
I was asked by a friend to make a quilt for each of her two children. We had decided on a bundle of fabric and then it was all up to me. Eeek!!!
It took a while to get what I wanted. Lots of stopping and starting. Lots of nerves and second guessing myself.
I finally settled on a block pattern after some inspiration from pintrest.
After lots of sewing and ironing....
I had a quilt top I was super happy with!
My favourite part was hand quilting this. I choose a few plain dmc threads to co-ordinate with the plain fabrics. Simple and very effective.
Quilt complete!
