It's all got a bit messy in the sewing room this week
I've sewed a little bits quickly & then left the chaos quickly
- no chance of vacuuming in here!
a lovely, low volume trip-around-the-world quilt I originally saw at a local quilt show.
I decided to enlarge my quilt
so have beenlooking rummaging madly through my stash
for more low volume, blending bits & pieces....

Goodness... I've just loved making this quilt!
A traditional design and yet not totally -
there are chains of planned colour yes,
but I think the scrappy fabric assortment adds some interest to those radiating diamonds!
It's all ready for quilting now!
Hope you had some time to sew too!

A lovely fresh looking quilt - are you quilting this yourself?
ReplyDeleteThank you Maureen. Well, this quilt has turned out unexpectedly quite big, approx. 70” / 175 cms square, a bit tricky on the old domestic machine! So I’m now thinking about getting it quilted by Annette @ Wild Cotton. Cheers, Linda

DeleteThis is looking beautiful Linda - love the brighter pops of orange.
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie! Yes, I tossed up between using the orange or a darker blue with white flower as my accent... the orange won!
