And More on that Mystery Quilt...
With Janet's 'French General' quilt now completed, I took on 2 pretty girly quilt tops this week, both pieced by Laura for her grand-daughters. As so often happens, once I got up in the loft, I just couldn't stop until they were done!
The first one was made with bright, fresh modern prints (not sure of the range) and the backing was a sumptuous deep pink in the 'Dimples' range from Makower. I picked up on the flowers, swirls and hearts in the prints to create this edge to edge design which shows up so well on the back.
This time the quilting design was inspired more by the backing fabric which was all swirls and curls. This curled ribbon with petals is fast becoming my favourite freehand motif.
Ah PINK! It always puts me in a good mood!
The other day I turned on my laptop and it decided to install windows updates - infuriating!
It took so long to load up that, by the time it was done, I had designed the Mystery Quilt I mentioned in my last blog!
This was requested by the small U3A group of fairly new to quilting ladies in Mill Hill - so it will be a beginner level lap quilt.
But I have decided to share it with anyone who might like to have a go, via my Facebook page Englishquilter Patchwork Fabric .
I will be finalising all the details and instructions over the next week or two and will make an announcement when it is good to go. Why not join in?
Happy Quilting Everyone!
Janet
