Another baby quilt top is finished
I have admired this pattern for ever , the doing was quite simple
I used a fat quarter pack but a jelly roll would be even simpler
I'm all for simple
4 prints + a solid
sewn into strip sets & cut on a 60 degree angle
half left facing & half right facing
sew into vertical rows
matching all those vexing little seams
sew rows together & trim top & bottom
add a border & it's done
2 things I don't like about the way I put this together
1) I didn't like the waste of fabric ... there is a fair bit
I have seen another method of staggering the strips which would create less waste
&
2) the top & bottom edge was a bit wobbly after trimming
Having said all that I think I'll do a pinkish one
Having said all that I think I'll do a pinkish one
This is my new huge Liberty & linen tote for fitting absolutely everything I need
It measures 19"x 15"
The handles have a 12" drop so tucks comfortably under the arm.
It was constructed using the quilt as you go method onto bag batting .
ps the cake is a banana , walnut & chocolate loaf
a variation of a Nigel Slater
happy stitching & thanks for reading
