My Colourful Quilt


It has been a wonderful weekend with lots of really beautiful weather. Still I didn’t go out that much. The garden is a mess; next week we are supposed to put a new terrace in, so now a lot of work needs to be done there. No sitting in the sun!

But the main reason, was that I really wanted to finish my quilt.

I used a lot of different kinds of quilting:

7 (3)

 

7 (7)

7 (6)

I know now for sure that I need a lot more practice to make the quilting perfect. So many mistakes I made! But only when it was really bad, I did the quilting over. Otherwise it would never be finished.

Now the only question is: how to hang the quilt? I like all four sides, so I made a tunnel at every one of them.

The pattern of this quilt is: The Colourful Quilt, by Jacqueline de Jonge.

Groetjes, Dorien

    Hier raak je dus nooit op uitgekeken. Ik zou het bij mijn bed hangen en er iedere ochtend iets nieuws in zien.
    Prachtig!!!
