The Bed of Rose Quilt is finished, washed and hanging in the sunshine. You might think this unremarkable except that sunshine has been a rare commodity here as it has rained for 10 days straight! More like England than Australia.

Anyway today the sun was shining so I took the opportunity to wash the quilt and it looks so lovely hanging in the sunshine.

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.

I’ve called the quilt I’m making for daughter Bed of Roses and I’ve half-finished the quilt top. These are definitely not my style of fabrics but I’m quite pleased with the result so far. Take a look.
