Quilting Bee week 1

Sep 21, 2009 22:36

I am taking part in a quilting bee where each month for a year you are sent fabric and have to make a block from it. I don't quilt as a rule, although I sew a lot, so this is a nice way to explore that medium. I thought that with recent events I would have to drop out but fe2h2o kindly said she would help me cut up my fabric etc if needed. As it has ( Read more... )

Wow! Fantastic :)

That looks great. And I'm so glad you don't have to drop out and had already sorted your fabrics. I agree, the size of the project is not at all daunting and as such you get a great feeling of completion very quickly!

Looking forward to seeing what you have selected for us to work with next.

very cool! I am so excited to see what each person does with the same fabrics!

So you had to sew all that together by hand!?

Not necessarily... I'm expecting she did hers with the machine (given she was only sketching it out on Sunday:-) )

There were no specifications about method for this month (I'm hoping there won't be for any month:-) ). Only that the only materials to be used were the ones provided, and that it was for a (Christmas) tablecloth, so no bulky additions. (_Now_ I remember I was thinking about doing some embroidery on mine... but it's too late now! Save that for next month, maybe:-) )

Nah, just on machine! I opted for a nice fast pattern!
