Just thought I'd give you a little sneak peek of something I've been trying out. This is my first attempt at a patchwork quilt.
I've been freestyling with the design (code: making it up as I go along) and so far I have made 18 blocks from a stash builder pack of fabric I found on ebay.
The fabric is from the Moda Hello Luscious range. I really like some of the fabrics, others I'm not so sure about. But for a first go, I'll be delighted if looks anything like a patchwork quilt.
The postman just arrived with a parcel containing red fleece - looks like the monster softie is back on the agenda.
They all look good to me! Can't wait to see it! I can never get my blocks to line up properly! Ada:)

Thanks for your lovely comment - you should definitely try some patchwork - I'm really enjoying giving it a go .... I just had a peep at your blog - your photographs are gorgeous! Will definitely be stopping by again :-) Bee
DeleteHello and thanks for your comment over at mine! I love your patchwork, can't wait to see more. I flipping scoured ebay for a cheapish Moda pack so I could play but couldn't find any that tickled my fancy.
ReplyDeleteI am following your blog and look forward to seeing how your patchwork progresses!
No problem and thanks for following - I found my fabrics a little while ago - they are pretty but some are a little too fussy for me ... but I don't mind! I'm hoping that when the quilt top comes togther they will all look OK .. Bee x
