Album appliqué quilt in blues & rose pinks.

Album appliqué quilt in blues & rose pinks.

My Victoriana Album (2007) is another quilt I made in these colours. 🤩🪡🧵🩷💙

That beautiful blue stripe with roses border fabric, was the main multicoloured print, that inspired all the other fabric choices.

I so love the details of this Let’s Play mini quilt, that I made last year. 👏🧡💚

Spring green plastic baskets.

Spring green plastic baskets.

To help me keep organized, I’m always on the look out for old wooden boxes, tins, trays & baskets, but the dash of pretty colour from these plastic green baskets, brings me joy! 👏🥰💚

I drew the diamond shapes on the back of the fabrics and stitched them together along the drawn lines.
I tucked a thin piece of cotton batting behind each diamond and then folded the outer parts of each diamond and basted in place.
Then did the embroidery.
Nothing backing. Will add to quilt as is.

That makes sense… (re: having bolts of ticking) 😊👏

Well if the scraps are going to a landfill, tell them I can put them in touch with a few creatives, in the UK, that would love to create with them instead.
