Bestfriend Locket Quilt

Mr W likes the first version I made for my friend, so I made him one too, with a different border (matte gold geometric for the 1st), backing and binding. I purchased some more Tula Pink besties in green to make another, it's a colour I like (green and gold) and I had a half heart from my penpal in the 90s.

Ashford Square pattern from Fabric Cafe Quilts in a Jiffy.

Art Gallery Fabric green and ochre polkadot to bring out the colours. Windham atlas diamond for the natural background, I chose this as it had chain links. The backing is Tilda cotton I purchased on Sherwoods a while ago with a voucher, in cream, teal and primrose yellow. I useused the remainder to make a quilt for my friefriend's cat. Looks like a 2018 range.

Quilting is a darn beige Gutermann thread, which I thought would look gold but blend, bobbin thread is cream. I edge stitched each side of each vertical and horizontal seam, then just under 2 inch in the centres after the first 1.5 inch space. 

Landscape Fandango Quilt

Tree landscape quilt! One to keep. It measures about 41 by 59 inches as I used a 2 inch outer border instead of 1.5 inch, the stripe fabric was a little offgrain so I had to cut carefully too and cut the stripes vertically, used up to 2 metres rather than 1 yard. It had cream, green and black, like the trees. It forms windows or stars, however you look at it.

Fandango by Fabric Cafe 3 Yard Quilts from the book Make it Modern.

Stripe is Windham. Mint swirl is Benartex. Trees are Paintbrush Studio. Backing is Benartex in a dainty floral.

Quilting is edge stitched each side of seams and a double line + through the centre of the blocks in Aurfil 2312 cream thread, aqua bobbin for the back.
