Following a
recent thread and looking at the wonderful creations of
Pearl Red Moon I've been inspired to have a go at something myself.
I opted for the applied patches over a base fabric approach and used the least shaped pattern I could find in stash;
McCalls 7664. Initially I was thinking 'just line it' but now it's come this far I think that it needs a bit more so I'll probably get some lightweight (2oz) polyester wadding and do some sort of quilting. I think it will be a keep me warm on chilly evenings quilt rather than a wearing out cape.
It's a true scrap quilt combining P&Q stash and left over bits of other fabrics including some bits of silk which have been in the stash since David Evans of Crayford closed 20+ years ago, some poly crepe, a chopped up rayon shirt and a linen skirt. The base fabric is most of what was left from three duvet cover backs which DD gave me - she'd done a job which required the patterned fronts.
All the fabrics have red in them; in memory of Vege and the
Go Red campaign. I'm sewing it now but it's likely to be September before it's finished!
