The first of these quilts is by Justine, who had actually got ahead of me and finished the quilt before the grand reveal, clever girl!! ;) I was so happy to see the quilt made up in the luscious grey and purple fabric bundle - doesn't it look so rich and sumptuous! Justine tells me she plans to add a couple more borders to increase the size, which will look amazing!
You can see the close up centre of this colourway in Ann's quilt - made over five weeks in her quilt class, she also loves how the purples and greys work so well together.
Ruth was wonderful throughout this process and more or less made up each block on the same day she received the pattern, which was why she was the first to tell me of any hiccups! Thanks again Ruth :) In her version she used the Flora Pop fabrics, similar to my own, however, if memory serves, I think she bought two or three of the curated fabric bundles, so I can see her making at least one more quilt!
Finally, Jan went for her own choice of fabrics, and purchased some Linen Textures from the Sewmotion shop - I love these soft pastel shades, and it really does look like such a different quilt compared to the grey and purple. Next month I will be sharing quilting ideas and a free pieced backing design.
This free pattern will be available to my Newsletter subscribers until the end of June, sign up now and join in the fun - you will also receive subscriber-only offers, more free patterns and the latest Sewmotion news.
Meanwhile, in the Sewmotion shop, I have released two new EPP Flower Hoop Art Kits - these projects are mounted into 12" hoops and come in two designs. The first is in lovely 1930s-inspired vintage fabrics, while the second features Makower's Woodland range in soft blues and greys. Each of these kits include the fabric and wadding, embroidery thread, pre-cut papers, 12" wooden hoop and full instructions - the perfect holiday project! What's more, if you subscribe to the Newsletter, you can get 10% off these new kits today!
Wow, I really like this quilt! Those beautiful grays and purples work so well together, and the movement in the pattern is perfection!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Beth, I think the grey and purple is my favourite!
DeleteThose ladies are really on the ball. I was up to date but this month I haven't had chance to do anymore of it, so my final top will be done at the end of the month or July, with a good wind. It looks a marvellous design Louisa. Great job on inspiring us to get making x
ReplyDeleteThe turquoise letters are next to impossible for me to read. I probably won't be back except to read the pictures. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I'm sorry you were having trouble with the turquoise, you're quite right, they were a bit glarey! I've changed the colour to orange now, which looks much better. Thanks for dropping by!
