The big chop is happening (70"square) and sewing has started. I do need to purchase some fabric for a binding - the bits I have are just not the right brown.
This was a quilt I made my daughter some years ago but her colour choices are quite different now.. it is lovely and soft from many washings - and I'm excited about a new winter jacket.
Block #10 of Caswell is done.....
This week at Quilt Club I got these 4 Sashiko blocks sewn....
... and today at Embroidery Guild I did these 4 ....
I'll need to sit down and trace more out .....
Righto, Gotto Go..... time for a gin and tonic before supper.....
Have a good rest of the week...xx
I like the look of your upcoming jacket Fiona. Great sashiko blocks. hope you enjoyed the G & T.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of re-purposing your quilt into a jacket. Lovely Caswell block too!
ReplyDeleteBet the first cut was hard but the quilt will make a gorgeous jacket.🧥
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful Caswell blocks and good progress with the Sashiko blocks.
I’m so looking forward to seeing your completed jacket and the Caswell block is looking great.

ReplyDeleteOh I so look forward to seeing that jacket come to life Fiona - how wonderful those colours will be. Caswell looks beautiful!! xx
ReplyDeleteVery interesting project that jacket. I hope you will take more pictures as you are progressing on this one. The Caswell block is perfect for your time of the year I'd say. It's part summer, part fall colours and completely gorgeous. ;^)
ReplyDeleteYour jacket is going to be amazing.
ReplyDeleteLovely Caswell block and Sashiko
Making a jacket is a great way to use that quilt.
