Quilt for Jazzy
« on: September 17, 2017, 12:21:22 PM »
My niece is 21 in November and I asked her if she would like a quilt for her 21st.. she was very happy with the idea and I showed her lots of different ideas she wanted pinks blues florals a vintage look and an pattern that wasn't 'in your face' I went through my stash and supplemented it with a jelly roll and some white polka dot from http://www.prettiful-fabrics.co.uk/ ( thank you for the suggestion Effie) the pattern is one I saw on a Missouri Star youtube video called the two step quilt...I didn't worry about the  postioning of the strips I just wanted a balance of colour....this is the result just got to make a label... may have to do something with the white cornerstones they annoy me

Very nice  0_0

I see what you mean about the cornerstones - how about making them pink?

Ok so the white cornerstones didn't survive the afternoon they are now blue and the label is attached.. I'm pleased with the results I think its very pretty and I hope Jazzy will love it.. next on the list is a quilt for DD she's 30 this year and I want to do something with batiks......
