Here's the mosaic...
More than I thought.
The Stained has now been mega-sashed since the photo; I was pondering hand-quilting it - but I think I will shuffle away slowly from that idea and back to the trusty machine; it needs more thought.
I am linking up as always with Lynne for Fresh Sewing Day. If you don't follow Lily's Quilts, please check out the cause she is currently championing. Under the heading of Giving Something Back.
Lynne has rallied the quilting troops to try to make 50 quilts before the summer for Siblings Together, an organization that arranges camps for brothers and sisters separated by the care system...
Maybe you can help too?
You could make a whole quilt, or maybe some blocks, provide fabric for others, anything to help depending on your time and resources; please check out the flickr group for more details.
I won a FQ stack of Robin Zingone's Stockholm from Katy late last year, and it has sat here, unsure of its purpose until now. Too 'old' for the girls, too 'teen' for me, perfect for this!
So yesterday I set to it. I'd ordered that Klona Pomegranate from Backstitch specifically for this project, and I think it looks lovely...
I have pieced the back (99% Pomegranate), and made up the binding, I just need to get my hands on some wadding. Its not the biggest quilt in the world, c.52"x 60", but I reckon it's a good size for young lady.
So, whaddaya waiting for!? x
You have been busy, I love your patchwork key fobs!
ReplyDeleteI'll send you some wadding Hadley! Love all your makes, especially my own personal one! But this quilt really is just the ticket!
ReplyDeleteOMG (that`s definitely too teen a word for me) that`s flippin` stunning!!!! I absolutely love it but it may cause riots on camp in the teen girl quarter. WOW.
ReplyDeleteSomebody is going to be totally delighted with that one!
ReplyDeleteYou had a lovely March and it is nice to see all your projects again together. The quilt will be loved by the teens for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like you had a great sewing month. Your siblings quilt is cheery. I love a happy quilt!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! It's a great quilt for a young gal. What a gorgeous quilt to give back.
ReplyDeleteDid you use 9 in blocks? How wide was the sashing?
ReplyDelete(I'm trying to turn out at least 2 tops for Lily.)
I love your quilt for siblings together, those colours and the pattern are fantastic.

ReplyDeleteYour mosaic is lovely, as always! And the latest quilt is great, too. I haven't seen that fabric before but it looks perfect for a teenage girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat mosaic! Love your siblings together quilt - the pomegranate is perfect. It is a great cause, will have to see if we have something similar in Oz. I'd love to help, but postage to the UK is scary, and I'm sure we have a similar local organization...
