The blue background dot was £2 a yard, madness, and as the lovely Jennie (my Guild sister) that I bumped into said, at that price, who could say no!!
I know, I succumbed to the lure of the Patchwork Please!, I have seen so many fantastic projects, especially this one, and well, knowing my love of books, did you think I might resist?
It's not going to help me get my sewing room organised, but despite it's fugly appearance and being rammed to the rafters, I have managed to give it a little tidy up and organisation, and am planning on getting a little sewing done in the next day or two.
And so on that note, my Monochrome Quilt, how on earth am I going to quilt it, any ideas? I genuinely have no idea, and as a sampler, it's kind of thrown me, seriously, keep it simple, but what do you think?
Marit is a very clever young lady quilter, and I can thoroughly recommend a little look around her blog.
Right, back to the binding of my hexy quilt, I'm over 3 quarters of the way round, yay!

ReplyDeleteLoving the polka dots! The book is a good buy. Di x
ReplyDeleteFor my sampler quilt I echo quilted within the blocks and then did a bit of straight lining down and across the sashing...
ReplyDeleteWith regards to the embroidery pouch, i have already purchased my 60p clear plastic pencil case from tesco as instructed by Hadley to use for the clear vinyl bit.
OMG - £2 per yard! You should have bought the lot and be taking orders! LOL!
:o)
Lovely polka dots, always my favourite fabric!
ReplyDeleteI can be of no assistance with the quilting as I'm still only on straight lines! I love all the spottiness - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh brother I have no idea on how to even begin to quilt that amazing piece other than outline quilting or in the ditch, perhaps...sorry I'm no help really but I do love your new fabrics.
ReplyDelete£2 a yard?!?! OK so I'm going this Sunday, that's bargainous for backings if nothing else. Are you leading Jennie astray?
ReplyDeleteOh it's so pretty!! And your fabric finds! I would straight line quilt, echoing like Karen said, or cross hatch it. I love cross-hatching when I want to keep it simple. :)
ReplyDeleteI would consider doing an all-over pumpkin seed pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dot fabric! I have no idea on quilting, but I really like your Monochrome quilt :)
ReplyDeleteIf you are experienced with free motion, you could to an all over design for the quilting. But if you are more like me... Maybe you would consider doing some Honeycomb quilting. It's a method I seen on Crazy Mom Quilts blog here....

I did this for my largest project to date - and although it seemed a bit time consuming - I loved the results!
