Modern Charm 43 x 61 inches. This is a May birthday gift, I took two days off work to get it done as I have an April birthday one to make too! The pattern is from Fabric Cafe 'Quick as a Wink' book, it wasn't quick! I chose this one because it has 9.5 inch blocks for showing a pretty print, and I've always liked the old fashion blocks like this churn dash, I noticed that when you turn the block on the diagonal it has Greek vase look! The handheld photos are after the quilt has been washed once on 30 degrees to crinkle, the cotton was not prewashed.
Dark green and cream Art Gallery Fabric churn dash. Cream with Ivy lacquer print background, I don't know the brand of this as I tried to order more but it's out of stock! Willow tree ornate print Art Gallery Fabric Backing is 2.5 metres Art Gallery Fabric, I cut this as two lengths, turned the length to the widthways and sewed together at the selvedges, usually I use an upright print so have to add the fabric to the side.
I quilted it both sides of each seam, straight lines. I used Aurfil thread this time, which is as good as Gutermann thread, not a lot of breakage or fluffing. I used Hobbs poly down 2-3 Oz.
