After taking time out to enjoy the Festival of Quilts, it’s
now back to what I love doing best; making quilts and immersing myself in
colour! Whilst I was at the show, I searched high and low for a suitable fabric
for the Garden Trellis quilt as I needed to make progress on it. Here is the
fabric I found and I have to say that my chums didn’t think it was right for
the job. However, I had that gut feeling that was telling me it might work and
it does. I chose this fabric because it was darker than all the fabrics used in
the last row of each block and also because it had lots of different colours in
it so it would blend in well. It adds depth and definition to the design.
The blocks will be set on point which means that the edges
have to be filled in with triangles to straighten them. The individual blocks
are just pinned on a design wall at the moment so there is still a long way to
go to make this into a quilt. But at least the major decisions have been made
to establish the ‘flavour’ of the quilt and for that I am grateful.
And what made me laugh this week? We have a ginger cat called
Chivers and I know, I just know, that he thinks he’s a tiger!
