I loved this range from when I first saw it .... and wanted to use it for some more modern quilting...
Naive Melody was an online sewalong with Lucy Engels in 2020/21. I used needleturn applique for mine....
(I don't think I ever shared the completed top here)
We tried for a stain glass windows look in the sunshine .... hmmmm
I have that delicious teal/blue/green backing and some binding done in the same fabric as the orange background blocks in the quilt...
I will have to think hard about the quilting....
Then I used leftover fabrics for this online BOM by National Quilt Museum... these blocks are all finished now ... shown HERE ....
Still lots of fabric left so I have cut up big and little squares to go on that dark grey for a Chandelier Quilt... (free online pattern) by Lella Boutique
Then I cut up a whole bunch of circles which will go on top of black and white 4 patch blocks
Pattern by me (though I expect there are similar out there)
I have to put notes in the boxes ... since I tend to forget what it was all for!!!
... and I still have a good little pile of the range (though a couple of them are finished - eg my much loved lizards)
- so I will need to think of something else to make with it.... any ideas?????
Righto, Gotto Go ... I have black and white fabric to slice and dice....
Hi Fiona wow you do such beautiful work ,you are very inspiring well done my friend 💕🤍💕
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is certainly the gift that keeps on giving....it goes on forever!
ReplyDeleteYou are so busy!! I looked at a similar pattern to Chandelier in a magazine this morning. Part of the big sort, it stayed! No bright ideas here sorry, unless you do a 9 patch?
ReplyDeleteIt’s a never ending lovely fabric range which you have used for the flimsy’s with more to come!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe a few quilts of love ??
Oh my! Such a lovely quilt and yummy leftovers. You can always cut teeny pieces to make a little quilt????
ReplyDeleteThere's and Angel in your window! Your fabrics have gone a long way - and some nice stitching to look forward to. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm with Lin. I saw the angel too. Happy to see this top completed. I'm not much of a modern quilter but this is very interesting with all the different shapes. Well done. Chandelier will be spectacular with those prints and a darker background. I presume the circles will be hand-applique to the background during the long winter evenings. How to use the leftovers? Well, it depends how many hours you have to read all that I can suggest, lol. If you have a constant background, you could do the block I'm doing with solids. It really doesn't need much of the print fabrics. Unless you have a lot of print fabric, then ... we'll talk in emails. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun quilt, love all the colors and designs.
