The Nine Patch quilt has been quilted now...
I have done each patch the same ... in the dark squares there are curved orange peel which make a whirlygig type shape that I like....
... and in the light shapes which is hard to see there is a ribbon type shape....
... and I have done this joined ribbon look in the sashing... theres a lot of sashing!!! hmmmm
I love the look and feel of a quilted quilt.....
... the binding is acutally on now... I found a piece that has lots of colours in it to go with the quilt...
I've got 2 quilts waiting for me to sew down the binding... it's just going to have to get a bit cooler for me to do that!
I still had some patches left and Susan has kindly sent me some she had spare after making her quilt.... so I should get another nice size quilt with these.... one day!!!
Thanks so much Susan - it's going to be great having the extra's to play with
I am still working with reproduction fabrics with the sampler quilt and this week we got two blocks done
