Ohh my poor wee blog, there are such big gaps here it's getting ridiculous!!
I have every intention of coming here and being more accountable for the process of making the quilts I do but Instagram is soooo quick and easy....and I'm lazy LOL
Anywhooo I'm here and I have a new quilt to show you...YAY!
Say Hi to the Prairie Queen Quilt from Fat Quarter Shop's Vintage and Classic Series
This is such a great quilt for beginners and more experienced quiltmakers alike, it's a simple block that relies on precise cutting and an exact 1/4" seam throughout for everything to nest and stay symmetrical...not at all difficult just be methodical :)
I chose to deviate from one particular line or designer and shopped my stash instead....it doesn't even look like I touched the mint and aqua blue piles so I clearly love them but need to use them in my quilts more than I do.
This OOP Aneela Hoey Posy print I have been hoarding forevahhhh, and I no longer need to hoard all the fabric and never use my favourites...so I forced myself to use it, and the gorgeous Moda Regent St Floral Lawns below......it was hard!!
I used a vintage 100% cotton sheet for the backing and this Riley Blake fabric for the binding....even though it only leaves me a tiny bit...it's ok it's ok...I keep reminding myself LOL
The small person struggled to hold it up for pics in the wind so I had to lay it down so you can hopefully see the gorgeous texture from the all over floral panto....sooo cute and I love being able to quilt my own quilts on my longarm. So much fun choosing a new pantograh and then holding my breath as it starts sewing and hoping I haven't made the wrong choice?!
I will list this in my Etsy Shop as soon as I can get some decent pics with a taller quilt holder LOL
Talk soon Peeps, nice to see you XX
BEAUTIFUL! Looks better than a quilt made all from one line of fabric... keep up the good work.
