Jenn asked us for Christmassy things this month - well I don't have a Christmas Quilt but this quilt was made five years ago for a Christmas present so I hope that counts!
The Quilters Guild of the British Isles ran a Mystery Quilt over 4 issues of their quarterly magazine. At that time I had not discovered the delights of online shopping for fabric let alone blogging! So this quilt was all made from my stash and the photograph is wonky but it is the only one I have.
This is just a crop of my original picture. Some of the fabrics are vintage Laura Ashley, some more modern. I did not have quite enough of the gorgeous pansy fabric and had to email the shop where I had bought it and they very kindly rummaged around and sent me an oddment that was tucked away in a corner.
The method of making the centre panel produced some spare pieces which very conveniently made a matching cushion but unfortunately I don't seem to have a picture of it.
So that's it - my throwback - I am now looking forward to going to see what everyone else linked up with..
Hope you have a great weekend.
Beautiful quilt Lin!

ReplyDeleteHello Lin,

Such a lovely quilt and well done using up some of your stash x
ReplyDeleteIt definitely counts! My link up, my rules! :) Such lovely colours... aren't all our wonky old photos funny? To think we'd only take one picture of something before giving it away. Now my quilts get the full on paparazzi treatment. Thanks for linking up with Throwback Thursday @ A Quarter Inch from the Edge. I hope to see more posts from you in 2016. Mark your quilty calendar. :)
