Most participants make several different projects from their scraps but as I already had a few projects on the go, I decided to make just one for the challenge.
The pattern I used is called Handy Andy published in Homespun magazine June 2013. My quilt measures 65 inches square.
A special thank you to Joanne, from Canuck Quilter who sent me fabric for the aqua coloured block as it was the one colour I didn’t have in my stash at the time.
Another UFO off the pile.
My dear blogging friend and amazing quilter, Love, shared her favourite recipe for raisin oatmeal cookies (we call them biscuits) and they are delicious! Thank you Love. 💕
Ruth, from Country Log Cabin, another special blogging friend and fabulous quilter asked how I created the quilt design on the sashings of my RSC2017 quilt.
Here’s a closeup. The design was made by overlapping the Spinning Wheel No 6 (sorry, photographed the wrong one) ruler from Westalee. Took a couple of goes to work it out.
These are the three rulers I used on the quilt. All the arch work in the borders were done with the 12in arc ruler and the design was inspired by long arm quilter Natalia Bonner. She has lots of interesting videos on YouTube and is very generous to share her ideas.
In exciting news (well, exciting for me), the binding fabric arrived from Berrima Patchwork in the New South Wales Southern Highlands. How delightful is their packaging?!
Now I can add the binding to my quilt before I set up the machine in preparation for my next project.
Happy Stitching,
