Done! I so enjoyed making this quilt! See it's beginnings here and here
Despite loving it, I have made a blunder or two. The lack of a walking foot has meant quite a bit of fabric pinching. And boy oh boy, what's with my binding technique?
But that's it really isn't it? Every error is actually an opportunity to learn.
Hannah says she likes it and has already had a few snuggles under it. I told her that if she ever needs a hug from me, just to put the quilt around her shoulders and think of me as it is my virtual hug for her.
I can't wait to start the next two quilts but there's a heap of knitting to get through too! First thing's first. . .

Gorgeous, Fiona! Gorgeous!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona, thanks for saying hello at my blog. I love your vintage quilt. And you are right about it being really similar to the one I made. I see mostly bright florals-which love, in the vintage sheet quilts but this more muted version is such a pretty variation. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow, this quilt is stunning Fiona.

ReplyDeleteOh Fi! You crafty minx. I am so incredibly impressed with your gorgeous handiwork. Making a quilt for Sam is on my 'to do' list. Any tips for a newbie quilter? And thanks so much for joining in the POTMC - it's fabulous to see you here. J x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Fiona, I can whip up a piece of jewellery in minutes, but a sewing machine scares the life out of me!
ReplyDeleteFound you through POTMC :)
Hey Lisa, thanks! I was petrified of sewing, seriously! I thought that I held no talent or the mental capacity to learn anything new only 2 years ago. Just decided one day that this is what I want to do and haven't looked back since. xx
DeleteWell done. That is one craft that is way off my comfort zone of capability!
