Stayed at home this week (cough cough sniffle sniffle) and have been getting on with some sewing.....
I have used up nearly all my pieces from a Terra Australis fat quarter pack and this is the top I sewed together this week.
Black and white 4 patches then appliqued a circle by machine blanket stitch to the centre of each 4 patch... then joined to make a checkerboard effect.
These are the other quilts I have made using the same range - and I've shown before but thought I would include them here for a comparison
Chandalier Quilt is a free pattern by Vanessa Goertzen (TA plus charcoal grey)
Puzzle Box is a free pattern by Christa Quilts (TA and Grunge)
Mystery BOM 2012 hosted by National Quilt Museum - I have done the blocks but not yet put it all together.... Individual blocks are QAYG and just need sashing and binding. I am going to go with the charcoal grey again... it needs bold framing I think.
TA and light grey
It all started with Naive Melody (pattern by Lucy Engels) and done using needleturn technique....
TA and various low volume greys/beiges
5 very different looks and I met my challenge of using almost all of the fabric - and I still have smaller pieces left over which I will chop and make some card wallets....
All of these are yet to be completed!
Still going with the Field Journal embroideries...
Hope all is well with you ..... xx
Righto, Gotto Go..... that new Tilda range is calling to be played with!
Your TA quilts are all so different....it must have been a big FQ pack! Love the pretty stitching....
ReplyDeleteLovely collection there - all so very different. Lovely FJ - hope you are feeling better. xx
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon Fiona. All your quilts are lovely. Great effort to use up all the fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea adding the TA circles to the black and white 4 patches.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a different look with all 5 gorgeous quilts.
You use such lovely threads for all your FJ blocks.
