I haven’t posted in a while but I have been sewing. I’ve started one of the projects for my Andalusian tile template set and am in the process of cutting and sewing and writing.
I’ve also completed 2 of the 3 cushions I’m making to go with the bed of Roses quilt. The third just needs the back sewing on. I English Paper-Pieced the bows, then appliqued them by hand onto the background. I got the pattern for the bow from my Japanese quilt block book – My Favorite Patterns 163 Quilt Patchwork Block Squares. Then I sandwiched them using my favourite batting – Vilene/Freudenborg Quiltlite – and machine quilted them.
Here are the two I’ve already completed.
Fortunately my wrists have recovered now and so I hope to be able to finish the hand quilting on the quilt soon too.
That has to be the cutest quilt I’ve ever seen!
Your quilt bows are so pretty. Love your selection of fabrics. 🙂
How sweet!
