Resurgence of the Darkside 2023

[Sheilago]

Thank you all. I’m now wondering what next. I occasionally make pieced whale blocks as a friend wants a whale quilt for a ( very in the ) future grandchild. I find them quite fiddly, so they tend to be on the back burner,  but as there are no other babies expected that I’d gift a quilt to, maybe I’ll get a few more of those done.

Hello to all!!! I am all for resurging, @Lowena last year was a really bad year and I am hoping that 2023 will be better for us. I did very little in the way of quilting last year - started one quilt for DD2 and I am in the process of quilting it now. I hope to finish it in a couple of weeks - it has been far too large a project - it is ginormous for me and my little machine. That said, i have learnt a great deal while doing it. After that, i want to start on a lap quilt for my dear mother in law. My father in law died last november and she is going to be moving into a smaller house, so I thought i would make her a lap quilt as a housewarming present. Still haven't decided on the pattern, although i know the colours i want to use...is that weird?

Not at all ... I assume you know what her favourite colours are !

Is she an old fashioned lady or more up to date, that might help with the design of the quilt.

Quilt all finished
As cats are my oh favourite it’s for him as a lap quilt

[Lowena]

It's lovely...and even more so in real life

I made a small lap type quilt for someone elderly.  I used a brush cotton sheet as the backing - so  soft.
I used a Disappearing 9 Patch pattern , it can look modern or not depending on the way the fabric is used.

She is very energetic and with it, I have looked at loads of patterns mostly old fashioned blocks, but I just haven’t found anything that says “this one”
