On a Roll!

Making good progress!

So, I decided to finish a few things before putting the Liberty Quilt on the frame, as it is going to tie me up for a while. 

Here is the hexagon quilt all done and ready for binding. This was a joint project made by the lovely ladies of Studio Quilters. The quilting just flowed over it – so much fun to do!

As I was on a roll, I quickly quilted the two ‘Convergence’ panels and made them in to this double-sided cushion (sealed all round because I’m still scared of zips!)

Yesterday I made a start on the lovely Liberty quilt. It was bigger than I thought and took a while to prepare and load up. I’ve spent about 9 hours stabilising it before starting on the intricate detail. When I reached the bottom I noticed that one of the applique panels is pieced in a different direction to the others. I wondered what to do and then decided that this was an interesting ‘design choice’ and adds to the charm of the quilt! 

I’m now working on a small curly leaf filler around the raw edge appliquéd leaves, while I decide what pattern will work best in the other open spaces.

I’m thinking flowers – not feathers – to compliment the pretty Liberty florals.

Earlier this week, I helped (or rather baffled) some beginner patch-workers from Mill Hill U3A with an introduction to Half Square Triangles ! And I’ve even dabbled with some decoupage to 'pretty up' my sewing room.

Happy Quilting Everyone!
