I got waylaid by image transfer and making decisions about the fabric, but we chose a Moda Layer Cake of fabric, Little Apples mix by Aneela Hoey which I bought from Poppy Patchwork.
My daughter decided on the images she wanted on the quilt and I stitched the fabric from old clothes onto the panels of fabric - not very expertly!
Next I added some embroidery. All embroidery images are from various copies of Mollie Makes magazines.
At this stage the squares have all been stitched together and now I'll need to seek some advice about the edging and basic quilting. Thinking of making some mini-bunting flags to incorporate into the border.

Your quilt is amazing!! You'll be so glad you made it in years to come :)
ReplyDeleteI used a really good quilt binding tutorial form Heather Bailey's blog years ago (if you can still find it?)
Hi Claire - thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. Have been busy looking through craft books and had a good chat with the owner of a local quilting shop. All organised now....will get to it soon. x
