But I hate missing out, so here I am!
Since the Spring Festival I have had a lot of finishes, but it came down to a choice of two...
or...
Gah! So hard to choose. BUT then I spotted in the small print that you can enter two, so I will enter one today and the other tomorrow, as I am not getting much done right now, and what the heck!
Firstly I went with my Liberty Marcelle Medallion, entering it in the Scrappy Quilt category; purely for the amount of work, piecing and fabrics that went into this one. I had never made anything as complex before and stuck to a pattern, and I love the sense of achievement it has given me...
I love this quilt so, so much. And the fact that I managed to get the lovely photoshoot over at my parents' means that it's only fair it gets another airing on my blog.
The Details:
Pattern - Marcelle Medallion by Alexia Abegg from the book Liberty Love
Fabrics - lots and lots of Liberty lawn, and Liberty Lifestyle mixed with complimentary prints and low volume scraps
Finished - 57"x 57"
Pieced and quilted - 50wt Aurifil in 2021
Quilted - continuous spiral from the centre
Backed - IKEA Britten Nummer and more Liberty
If you are visiting for the first time, hello, welcome and please do have a look about and come back again tomorrow. I do make a lot of stuff, usually!
Both will be fantastic entries Hadley, good luck.

ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I have been seeing Marcelles around but the loveliest thing about them is they all look so different. Love the aqua background and the text print on the back.
