I'm always happy to see progress on my projects...... you may have noticed I have several going at once!
Short attention span!
Short attention span!
I had a couple of quilts which were made simply but with lovely fabrics ..... too much quilting would have taken away from the lovely fabric so all I added was texture and some playfullness with the borders.....
Loose enough to keep the quilt soft and snuggly but tight enough to give it that crinkly texture - two quite different designs
Four more Dutch Treat blocks have been completed...... now I am coming to the end I must finally be feeling more confident as I found these ones relatively easy to do!!! haha
.... and my feather blocks are all together .....
I love, love, love them......
It's a lap size quilt 50" square - of course one can go on building as many feathers but this is the size I wanted. I loved making them and I do have more scraps! hmmmmm
I used my colour co-ordinated scraps. The pattern is a freebie provided by Anna Marie Horner, a generous and inspiring artist. It can be found on HERE . She is in Australia at the moment - wouldn't it be fun to go to one of her workshops.
Because I used scraps (as opposed to longer strips) I took tips from this TUTORIAL here but using small pieces from my scrap baskets.
Righto, Gotta Go... more quilts to add texture to ...... what fun

So many beautiful things to see in your lovely post. I have the Dutch Treats book - bought it close to when it came out in fact, but haven't made a single block.
ReplyDeleteLovely all over texture on those quilts, Fiona! Sometimes we get so caught up in all the fancy quilting that we forget that not every quilt wants that to be the focus. Pretty fabrics can shine, too! :)
