It may seem mad to be worried about my daughter getting cold at night when it's currently so warm she's hardly wearing anything to bed, but I started the patch-working for this quilt last year and never quilted it.
The creation of my in-laws quilt took precedence over this quilt as it was (supposedly) a Chrimbo pressie. Due to my woefully slow quilting prowess I thought I'd best get started on this baby if I want really to have it on her bed by winter. I am so very glad it is just a single bed sized quilt.
The quilt pattern is called 'high-flying geese' and I got it from a book called Layer cake, jelly roll and charm quilts. In the book they made it with a mixture of Heather Bailey fabrics, but I thought I'd use a mixture of thirties style fabrics.
Every time I blog about my quilts I always think 'I should have ironed that first' but never remember before I take the photos. Oh well, sorry about that :)
Wow thats amazing :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, I love all the fabrics in this one. It's so cheerful, it makes me smile every time I get it out.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love quilts that have a pattern. Too many quilters just throw random squares together with no regard to color placement. This will be loved, until your daughter is a little old lady.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope she will, but she's too young yet to care.
ReplyDeleteI'm still learning about the differences in quilts, but I think I'm veering towards simpler ones. Less fussy fabrics, simple patterns, and in many cases fewer colours.
I've been going to quilt shows, where they have a lot on display, and even though I'm amazed at the work gone into each quilt there are very few that I actually think 'I'd love to take that one home'.
