Hi there.
I hope you've all had a productive week. I don't have a finish for today because I have started a major project.............
I have been commissioned to make this quilt - key words are blues, greens, butterflies, sunflowers with possibly a rainbow effect.
This is how it is going so far.
A friend of mine (thank you Irene !) hand dyed the center fabric - I didn't want to use cream or white as I thought it would be too stark. I made up some churn dash blocks and already it is taking shape.
I made templates for my butterflies and cut them out of fabric that had vilene(stabiliser) ironed on the back.
Next up - placement of the sunflowers.......
Now I am ready for the next stage, which is sewing down all the shapes.
I am very happy with how it is looking so far. I have quite a bit to go before it will be the right size for a double bed.
Must say I am really enjoying working on this and I'm really looking forward to quilting it.
More updates on this quilts progress to follow.
Now I am off to spend the whole day in my sewing room - bliss!
See you all next time.
Rhianon.
