Mum made most of our clothes, and many of the scraps were included in the picnic quilt. I remember sitting on that quilt and identifying all the fabrics I liked in the quilt.
It's grown bigger than this now |
My quilt is made from Half Square Triangle blocks that I won at Capital Quilters Block of the Month last year. So it contains scraps from lots of guild members. The blocks are 4.5" unfinished - 4" finished.
Not a great photo with the light shining through, but you get the idea. |
I'm hand quilting straight lines on this one with Aurifil 12wt in red. I like big stitch hand quilting so the stitches show and add character to the quilt.
I'm also echo quilting in the opposite direction in grey so the coloured sections pop out (you can see that around the central motif).
I've been really good at keeping on task so far this year. This quilt is number 5 on my Quilting Priorities for 2018 list. I've finished numbers 1 and 2, but 3 and 4 are still WIPs.
