Patchwork Quilt

Skip to my Lou from Easy Peasy book. Prewashed cotton flannel batting.  I love the look and feel of a quilt lined in cotton flannel as batting, it's smooth and heavy like a weighted bedspread, it packs well for days out. 

Blue and white tile print, Fleur de lis. Both Gutermann fabric remnants.

Blue tiny hearts John Louden. Grey flower Moda fabric. Backing: aqua geometric tiles Camelot fabric 

Quilting: serpentine stitch each seam and criss cross on the blocks, very light grey Aurifil thread. Pattern is Skip to my Lou from Fabriccafe, from the book Easy Peasy 3 Yard Quilts (over 3 metres with double fold binding and directional prints).

Barn Star 2 Quilt

Pet quilt 40 by 40 inches. We had to crouch for these photos as we didn't want to be photographed! 



Christmas present pet quilt for Fallon. I used a puffy wadding for this one and serpentine stitch. 

Pattern Barnstar 2 by Coriander Quilts, I've sewn Barn Star 1 and will make 3 or 4 next, I think there are 9 but not all are my style. 

Moda layer cake "Emma" (Sherri & Chelsea designer). 

White heart outlines on white tonal John Louden.

Binding: Green straws RB Studio @fleur.et.ours . Backing is Benartex, I liked the swirls but didn't realise it had squares on it, ok for backing, they look like Chinese almond biscuits. 

Wadding: Sew Easy polydown crib size

Quilting: Gutermann thread, white.
