I've been cutting up the fabrics I bought at a vintage fair last week and decided to start a design in a brick pattern.

| rescued fabrics |

| detail of lace mat |
 |
| pinks coming out of the greens |
 |
| rose print border |
 |
| green centre |
 |
| narrow border fabrics |
 |
border sewn in zig-zag stitch
I've not decided yet if I will include the lace mat. It looks so delicate on its' own, but I can also see it on the quilt too...

Hi Pauline,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I found your rose quilt. It's lovely. I have never heard of a Wagga quilt before. I really enjoy reading about the history of quilts. Bob is so cheeky looking!

Really looking forward to seeing this finished. I love the way that you have used old fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHello, thanks for your comments, I do like to recycle where possible. By the way, your plarn bags are amazing. I have a bagful of charity bags, and now I know what to do with them. I do donate, but we still seem to have a constant supply. I will be able to put them to good use!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours on this quilt and look forward to seeing it finished
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, working on the quilting today, I've put the backing and batting together. I love the way it changes from a layer of fabric to a quilt.
Gorgeous fabric, look forward in what you'll make out of it. Wonderful blog, so lovely to meet you and stop by. Have a beautiful week :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ana,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments.I have now started to hand quilt some of the green fabric. I Will be posting some more photos shortly.
