Dawn to Dusk
It was only yesterday afternoon that Carole M (from Connecting Threads) dropped off this charming little quilt top for me to finish.
She has wanted to do an Irish Chain for ages, she told me. Although the floral fabric was not one of her favourites; set against the crisp white on white, it looks so fresh and the perfect frame for her delightful appliqué.
The weather forecast promises another scorcher on Friday, so I was determined to get on with it while the loft was still bearable.
My first task was to stabilise the whole quilt with lots of ruler work in the pieced blocks. Then I could fill in the open spaces with a free motion design. I was in the mood for circles and I mixed up the sizes for a lovely texture.
Of course, I found room for some feathers around the hearts.
I made good progress yesterday afternoon and set to it first thing this morning. I cracked on all day and finished it in time for tea!
