a quilty bundle

Lockdown Day 22. As the rest of New Zealand moves into Delta Level 2, here in Auckland we are still on Level 4. Case numbers are dropping, so there is hope we might get back to a semi normal life sometime soon 🤞

So as lockdown life continues for me, I'm finding I have more time for quilting. I thought I’d look at an older quilt, get the binding all finally finished, and re-photograph it in different ways. 

This quilt was meant to be folded, balled up, scrunched and snuggled under, enjoy the pics…

quilty texture - loving the contrast between the old versus the new on the spare bed.

- loving the contrast here too

between the quilted vintage looking fan shapes and the fresh geometric prints.

You will remember my '9patch Remix' quilt, it's a modern version of the good old nine patch. I used lots of leftover geometric fabrics - a mash up of Carolyn Friedlander's fabric and Karen Lewis textiles - and teamed them up with a mix of Liberty and other prints. It's a winning geometric : floral combo!

I had it quilted in an e2e pattern, called 'Bapist Fan' by Leeanne from quiltmekiwi. I used a new vintage sheet for the backing from my Aunty Freda . And the binding? Well, that was a tad tricky. After auditioning several fabrics over the past few months, I finally settled on this stripe. 

Finished quilt measures 54" x 62".  One quilty bundle already in use! 

Until next time, Linda
