I made this quilt for the soldier's, as Joan, (a member of Popular Patchwork site) sent me a cheque to get some bits to help me towards the quilts i am making with Di. I decided to buy some fat quarters from Sunflower Corner Quilting, as they have amazing bundle bags where you get 10 fat quarters for £10!!! So off i went to purchase!!! Got them, loved them, found a pattern and made this gorgeous quilt, which everybody loves so far who has seen it!!!
The background and border fabrics were from my stash, the main blocks are the bundle bag fabrics, and the block is called Anvil.
I just quilted it with diagonal lines and little whirlies in the border, just a label to do next,(with Joan's name on) and then hopefully it will have a new owner who will love it just as much as we all do!!!
Thank you Joan for the donation,xx and to Sunflower Corner for fab fabrics!xx

It's not until you see these quilts 'in the flesh' so to speak, you realise how drop dead gorgeous they are.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of what you have achieved in such a short space of time, and to be making these quilts for our boys and girls is just an amazing thing to do. Keep it up.
So good of Joan to send that cheque, hope she likes what you did with her dosh. Sure she would. So many really kind people out there, and every little helps of course.
