Another Doll Quilt..

From the look of my first couple of posts, you would think I was a quilter! I am totally not!! I like to dabble, but so far I haven't made anything else. I will rectify that soon, I promise!!

Ok, so I surprised myself with this one. I did the top using foundation piecing but not organised or planned. I just cut a bunch of strips using the 5 or so "matching" fabrics and put down a square and off I went! Some strips were assembled before they got added, to increase the "random" feel. You can probably tell I changed my mind partway through and started adding angled strips....

So once I made my "sandwich" (which I used 1 layer of flannelette - prewashed so it didn't shrink!) I decided to stipple in a large scale. I tell you, it looks so easy on YouTube!! Lots more practice needed before I'm going to be comfortable with this technique. It turned out OK, as long as you don't look too closely.....

Doll Quilt..

So I haven't been sewing for a while now - motivation was at an all time low - but I was sent this link to a brilliant Scrap Quilt here and I thought "I can do that!"

So here is my version of the scrap quilt :

My "random" was a lot more structured, but I managed to put patterns with patterns, and they even kinda go together! I am so proud of myself!!

My quilt is just whatever size was at hand. It's about 25cm x 40cm, with a little pillow which is 15cm x 10cm. Just because.....

I am usually a "stay between the lines" kinda girl, but this one is designed to fray and change textures with washing. Quilted as you go, very fast, very easy. Thank you Crazy Mom Quilts!
