what did you do last night?
9pm & i was a little .... well bored really!
footy just doesn't 'do it' for me ...
my stash of scraps is a magic pudding
seriously .... i work hard on using it & it multiplies
decided on a variation of my 'free-styling scrappy patchwork'
not sure how ... it just evolved & i quite like working that way
so thus the stacked coins element
i know where this single bed quilt is going!
.... so i wanted something really bright to go with...
found this amazing large scale print in my hoarded stash
'Wildwood' by erin mcmorris for Freespirit westminster fibres
'Wildwood' by erin mcmorris for Freespirit westminster fibres
seriously i have whole pile of neatly folded caressed beauties
that i've hoarded ... happy just to look at all lined up pretty like
a wave of corageousness swept over me
crikey!? .... it was cut into .... black & white spots were added
you can't go wrong with spots & these are a great size ...
it 'works' ... now to find a worthy backing?
maybe a b&w stripey binding but we shall see
lots of wonky curvy soft machine quilted lines i think
perhaps a few lines of perle hand quilting stitches running across the stacked coins
quilt top made in a bit under 2 hours
quite enJOYed my friday night in the end
hmmm now .... the backing & then baste ....
lets see if i can get that far in less than 24hrs?
might even get on a roll & baste the others that are still a-waiting!!
yep .... enJOYing my journey ....

Two hours!?? Are you kidding me? Very nice, if I did quilt (not saying I'm going to) I'd like to be able to do it in an organic way like you do.
