67 * 70 inch quilt. 2nd hand quilt top, it was a doublebed size but I had to remove the outer white border, with a seam ripper to preserve the patchwork border, as the marks didn't wash out (on very gentle). 2nd hand quilt top. Backing: 4m Benartex. Binding: just over 1/2 m Timeless Treasures. Quilting: Aurifil thread in cream front, Superior Thread back. Batting: 4m high loft 2oz.
I purchased the quilting cotton for a Christmas quilt, but the Itch to Stitch Deba Topper pattern test came out around the same time. I used the red colour way for the facing, it can be pressed as a collar or worn flat. I used a jewel colour rainbow jacket button (Pigeon Wishes buttons gift from Mr W).
I think almost all of my skirts are denim or canvas. Minerva supplied 3m of this pale blue cotton, so I made two skirts I've sewn before previously. Charm Patterns Stanwyck Skirt, I've also made in light pink.
Disappearing 9 patch. Coriander Quilts Starberry charm pack, Moda 'Home town Sky' (pale mint) charm pack, and Robin Pickens Winterley (layer cake, as I ran out of charm squares). Border is Coriander Quilts Starberry. I think the quilt measures 45 by 45 inches. No pattern, just charm squares sewn/cut with Disappearing 9 patch method. Backing: Benartex. Binding: Nutex. Quilting: serpentine stitch in 'Pistachio' Glide thread.
A few years ago I sewed a skirt and a skirt lining from the wheat print grey cotton and the white dot on white cotton, the cotton was too thick for lining and the poplin was too thin for the style. I found the remnant of the white print so had enough for the inner border.
The other blocks are the remainders of 2 Moda layer cakes. The prints are Holly woods by 3 Sisters and Le Beau Papillon' by French General. Yardage: blue gingham lefftover from a babyquilt/picnicquilt, the main navy print, cream dbinding and the cream thatched border are all Art Gallery Fabric. Batting: #hobbspolydown as I wanted it to be lightweight for spring despite using Christmas holly. Backing: is Stoff, white polkadot on grey.
Pattern is Arcade by Fabric Cafe.
No pattern / own design. 50 by 51 inch small throw, picnic or babyquilt. This is the remainder if the Love Lily Moda jelly roll (I donated the pink and purple). I'm not sure what this block is called, but I made it using the rail fence technique, then unpicked a left seam to sew onto the right side to close the bricks.
I had only blue and red, and added another 2 strips of red from stash.
White rainbow polka dot leftover from the checkerboard quilt. Art gallery fabric.
Border Liberty of London, I think Sussex print. Batting Soft and Bright by Warm Company. Binding #artgalleryfabric purchased end of roll (remnant). I pattern matched the strips when cutting the double fold binding, and tried to pattern match joining the corners too. 2.5 inch sewn at 1cm.
Quilting: Aurifil thread front in light cream, darker cream Superior Thread on the back.
