Well I beavered away all day and got my Beginners Quilt finished last night.
 |
| Finished size approx. 58" x 68" |
 |
| I used a colourful duvet cover for the back. |
This simple design will provide my beginners with a safe introduction to quilt making, as well as having fun with colour placement.
I also managed to get the cushion made for Sarah's Sew Get Started Beginner series tutorials, and my fqs from The Fat Quarter Shop arrived so I got those cut up and I'm now ready to start piecing my nephew's quilt.
Interestingly, I ordered these fqs from USA on the same day I ordered bondaweb from the UK (Ebay). I'm still waiting on the bondaweb!! 'Nuff said!
Btw, I'm writing up some class notes on how to spray baste a quilt & am happy to put this up on my blog as a tutorial if anyone is interested?
Hope you are having a great half term week.
great colours and quilting
ReplyDeletelove the quilt and the quilting. I'd be interested in your notes for spray basting a quilt as I struggle every time with trying to get the layers together.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great and wil get your class really raring to make their own xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat beginners quilt, and I love the quilting on it! Always up for a wee tute from you :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks great, sure your beginners will have fun with it :o)
ReplyDeleteLovely colours in that quilt!
ReplyDeletevery cute quilt!
ReplyDeleteI do love The Fat Quarter Shop they have such good service! I feel bad ordering from the US but even with postage it works out cheaper than a lot of stores here!
Love that quilt, the simplicity of it works perfectly. And I can't wait to see your cushion. I buy from the US all the time, the exchange rate of dollar to euro is much better than sterling, and mostly the stuff takes only 4-5 days to arrive!
ReplyDeleteGreat beginner's quilt, J! Love the window pane quilting!
ReplyDeleteLovely contrast of colours in the beginners' quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat beginners quilt. I made a quilt using this chess board type pattern just last year because I had been given a charm pack for my birthday and it seemed the sensible way to get a quilt out of it - with a few additions!
ReplyDeleteLove those colours in the quilt. Go ahead and tell me how to spray baste. I'll follow instructions if I ever splurge on the stuff.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt, your beginners are going to have so much fun! I can't think of a better person to introduce them to the joys of quilting!
ReplyDeleteLooks fab! and you are so fast, all quilted and bound already, I need to take a leaf out of your book :) x
