I cut the sheets into 5" strips and then again into 5" squares. When I set up my piles of fabric on the living room floor ready for assembly, Rick thought it wasn't going to work. He didn't say anything. But as I was laying them together while he was watching the telly, something amazing happened.
Rick looked away from the telly during an ad break and exclaimed "wow, it's looking good!". He then went on to say that he initially had doubts and couldn't believe how well all the fabrics were working. He even said that he would keep it if it wasn't destined for his daughter Hannah. That is a huge compliment from Rick. He is really quite good with colours and is a bloke's bloke.
So this is it in its development. I will machine quilt it even though I don't have a walking foot.
What are you working on?
Your man is right it looks fabulous....it will be a shame to give it away but hopefully it will be really loved and cherished. x
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is absolutely gorgeous! You clever girl:) Love the colours and the vintage patterns. I remember having sheets like some of the ones you've used. Thanks also for your lovely comment on my blog. It means so much to share and have people respond like the way you did. xx
