I have a strange hankering....Quiltalong anyone?

[sunbird73]

Looks fabulous Nikki! Think I have one of those fabrics, might inspire me to actually cut into it

Daikini your block is so impressive, I love the colours. Cannot believe you did it by hand

Here's my trial quilt top (as in, the first one to make mistakes in before I do the one with the more expensive fabrics!)
Sewn completely from stash, will be for my boy.
It's hanging over my fabriccupboard (2doors) to give you a size idea, and is over a baby gate at the bottom so it is not as misshapen as the photo apprears!

some of the fabrics...

[nikkiwhyte]

Rocking! Love the quilt top

[Megan]

That's gorgeous, Anne.

[mama anne]

Thanks for your kind words ladies. I did cheat with some of the blocks and made them just a square of one fabric instead of the three fabrics like the other blocks... And now that I'm looking at that photo I'm not happy with the block placement.

Perfectionist much?

[podg]

Yep, Anne, you're thinking far too much. It's beautiful.

[sunbird73]

oooh lovely anne!! Just gorgeous, well done.

So apparently having a sick boy (who is very happy and normal, just very spotty!) has it's benefits- I've had the last two days off from work as he can't be at daycare as usual. And coincidentally he's had long day sleeps- today he slept for 2.5 hours! So I finished this
The quilt top for my little girl. Some of it from stash ... Maybe 60% stash, the rest bought specifically for this.

Closeups of the fabrics:


now for the scary bit... Actually quilting it!

[Vivianne]

That is beautiful !!! I love the fabric and pattern you have chosen. Awesome work !!

[Megan]

Wow wow wow! That looks amazing, she will love it!

So bummed I didnt look into this thread properly.

I made Jayes quilt front about 2 weeks ago:

Bad pics:






I just made the pattern up based on a coined quilt. A mixture of squares and rectangles. Its cot sized.
The back will be the fairytale material with a strip of lights to break the colours. I have baby pink and blue stars, light pink fairies and light blue fairies in that mix too. I just reaaaaally need a good camera

My next one will be squares also. But for a doll hahahaha.

I just can't believe how professional and awesome these quilts are looking!! I haven't got far on mine - and it's not terribly interesting, but I'll post a pic later when I'm home from work
