Hello Dear Reader,
I've been working on a big quilt. It's intended for the flat in Huelgoat but I've struggled as I've lost heart with it and have just had to learn to like it. I haven't been exact enough in my square cutting so it doesn't line up on the diagonals as it should. I have used surplus squares and 2.5" strip to make the edging. I'll add a yellow binding to this when it's finished. It's big at 93" by 103" so just big enough for a king sized bed. It'll be a wrestle to layer it and I use spray baste and lay it out on the floor and then stitch in the ditch with a conventional sewing machine.
There's a mixture of fabric in here, leftovers from other project, yardage I bought for £2 a metre, fat quarters bought for less than a pound from the quilt show last year, thrifted clothes as I can see a few shirts and even pyjamas.
Here's my other unfinished quilt but another one of my favourites. I love scrappy quilting as it just grows organically and literally anything can go into it. It's also got bits of quilts that some of you have started and sent to me in the post as you've felt it's better used than sat in the cupboard. All orphan blocks are welcome here xx
I must get back on with it as it won't finish itself.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxxxx
