The Sewing Place Bear wants a Quilt!

[Lowena]

Finished my quilt .... but..... I don't like it  I don't like it at all 
so it's back to the drawing board and I'll make another one......off to get some ideas 
 

[StitchinTime]

After a few days away (which did include a trip to a fabric shop), I am reunited with an internet connection and more importantly with my stash. I did some doodling and have decided on an organised scrappy design. So here is the first stage - unorganised scraps! Now to work out the quilt maths and see if any of these are too small to be useful.

Fabric chosen for quilt mark 2.

Construction and detail
Yes, it's green!! I had used up so many of my scraps / strips in the rubbish quilts, that I didn't have many options left. Anyway it uses up my stock of the  's colour so I'm pleased 

[Lowena]

Couldn't find how to send it privately to Iminei, so I'm afraid I've had to post it on here. Remove if inappropriate

Beautiful, Lowie.   

I think you have to send the entry by email to Iminei@thesewingplace.org.uk.

[Acorn]

That's lovely.  And beautiful colours.    

[Snowgoose]

So very pretty  it looks beautiful, and as Acorn says, such lovely colours 

[wrenkins]

I think that's the very first illustration of hand quilting I've seen on here and green is my favourite colour!!! Gorgeous! 
Well done Low.

You've all been busy!

I'm really looking forward to seeing all the finished entries. I have a feeling it's going to be difficult to choose a favourite.

Looks like there's going to be a lovely Liberty quilt added too, StitchinTime.

My fabrics I have chosen are these....




Ooooh, actually. Ditch the bluey purple on the far left of the picture. I exchanged that one for a blue.All the other fabrics are in it though.


I started off keen enough but lost interest a little bit when I started to join it all together....I began to feel irritated by how small the bits are/seams a bit off/not sure of the colours.

Anyway.....It's done.
Trip Around The World. It measures just 9 inch square....a bit smaller than it should/could have been, but it looks quite cute.

I hope TSP Bear will consider it a possibility.

Please remember Girls that the winning quilt will be winging its way to TSP Bear so keep it handy (and in good nick) til the end of the competition please!

[StitchinTime]

My pencil and paper doodles have progressed to something a bit more technical and I now know what sizes I need to cut. Some of them look rather small! Given the wet weather forecast for today, I think this afternoon will be spent cutting the pieces and working out the best way of joining them.

I've just sent my entry off to Iminei.

StitchinTime...you're planning yours properly.  It's going to be fabulous.
