Next up was the Small Quilt Challenge set by Kathy Tracy, to use our ugly fabrics to make a small quilt, I chose this drab repro fabric that I've never liked and added red, blue & yellow to brighten things up
Still enjoying making these small quilts, especially the hand quilting part of it! Got carried away and made another one for fun.
This one is a gift for my Mum's birthday and is winging it's way to France, hope she likes it.......
March also saw the end of the log cabin blocks, I ended up making 80 in total and now have a completed top. I'm thinking about hand quilting this one with baptist fans, do you think that would look ok?
.........and finally, whilst i had all these repro scraps lying around, I just couldn't help myself and started making some scrappy stars, so this is my final new start for the New FO challenge for March, all in all, another busy month!

You have been busy making some beautiful quilts! The one you did with the "ugly" fabric turned out fabulously.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of baptist fan quilting on the log cabin.
Love the scrappy stars. That background color is very cool.
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy again in March. Love all your project. I didn't do anything as I was with mum in Switzerland looking after her. By coincident "we" (The Zoo Basel) also welcomed a baby Orang Utan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-1CjBeVLio).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteHello Giselle,
ReplyDeleteOakshott cottons are completely wonderful, I love using them for appliqué. Great to see your colourful blocks.
Love,
