Jelly Roll Quilt - Finished!

Hello 

I got my jelly roll quilt finished.

its gone from this....

to this.........

It took a while, but I made all the petals and leaves separately and sewed them down whilst the quilt was still on the frame.
I stitched the Suffolk puffs down by hand.

 I'm pretty pleased with my quilting here.  It was a challenge to get the feathers to snake around the center section and get them to fit into the space. I've not done that before. I had to roll the quilt back and forth - a lot.

I will be entering this into my local show later in the year.  I always wanted to make a blue and white quilt and now I have.

I've been very busy working on a charity quilt recently.  Here's a wee sneaky peek to finish this post.

More next time......

Until then, happy sewing.

Floral Hearts Lap Quilt

This is my floral hearts quilt.  I started to hand applique these hears quite a long time ago and when I found them in a bag, decided to do make a quilt.
I switched from hand to machine applique using a blanket stitch in black around the hearts.

Sashings and cornerstones added.

Cream border with lots of space for quilting......

.... jazzed up a bit with more appliqued hearts.

Then onto the frame for quilting.

Quilted hearts and feathers... in opposite corners.

View of my machine on the frame....

Very happy with the quilting on this one.

Just off the frame.

I finished it off by rounding the corners and dark red binding.

It measures 56" x 62" and I used Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 wadding.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.
Have a great weekend.
