From this - take one bag of scraps
To this - take sheets sheets of memo block (you know those cubes of paper that you doodle on when talking on the phone!). Draw a simple pattern numbering 1 to 4. Randomly choose fabrics and using the pattern, sew 2 to 1 then 3 to 2 and finally 4 to 3. This is called the 'foundation method' where you sew fabric directly on to the paper as described above. It's a bit difficult to explain but it's a fairly accurate way of piecing a quilt. I'm sure if you google it there will be a better explanation than my ramblings!!
To this - all pieced and sewn together
An finally to this - with the border on. Makka Pakka is going to be one lucky..... em not sure what it
is really. How about 'soft toy!

DeleteNow that is lovely! My huge quilt has gone nowhere since I lost my sewing room so I have been knitting instead (or working!. I have just installed the machine upstairs so it could be time to start again!
ReplyDeleteIndeed Elizabeth! If you need a motivator, I'll call round one day (when you are not working!) and we can have a look at your quilt. Thank you for all your encouragement along the wasy.
