Getting Things Done!
Finished quilting this sweet little play mat quite quickly this week. Having looked up the layout I wanted on Pinterest, I later came across a book (I didn't know I had) with all the variations for Drunkard's Path set out in it! I found out that this layout is called Love Ring. I liked the symmetry for a small quilt.
Then Susan gave me this pretty top to baste for her, so that she can quilt it at her leisure. It made it easier for her than trying to layer a large quilt with safety pins. It was such a fresh looking top with its scrappy 9 patches, quarter square triangle blocks and charming appliqué border.
It inspired me to pull out my 'Project G' which is a similar design (but with half square triangle blocks) and get it all assembled this weekend.
I had already decided to deviate from my original plan and make a simpler quilt. I didn't start off intending to make a rainbow quilt, but somewhere down the line I started to use bright colours and it was just going that way - so I went with it!
I even matched up the colours in the scrappy binding with the colours in the quilt, which took some doing! I must be barmy!
It was fun to quilt with this 'double bubble' pattern.
Meanwhile, it's nearly the end of term at my quilt class in Borehamwood and Carol has put together her first quilt top - this Ohio Star and snowball block layout looks amazing in her favourite Stars and Stripes fabrics.
Well done!
Happy Quilting Everyone!
