Abstract Dream quilt is slowly getting into shape. I finally finished the top. It is once more time to make a quilt sandwich accompanied by a TLB sandwich.
I have also spent some time taking photos at the Patchwork exhibition in Almoradi.
We had a lot of visitors on both days and Friday evening altogether nice meal.
And not to forget – we are in the strawberry season and I am busy making preserves.
My dog is now waiting for me – he wants to see his friends. I am off and hope to quilt soon !!
A few weeks ago I received a nice thick envelope from Hawthorne Threads : a fat quarter bundle of Echo from Lotta Jansdotter. Altogether 20 different fabrics. I was thinking over and over what kind of quilt could I possibly make out of these colourful fabrics. I decided to go for a classical log cabin with a plain white center. So all blocks are finished and the design wall is waiting for a definitive layout.
Block size : 8,5″ square, quantity : 63 blocks, finished quilt size : 54″ x 63″.
Looks a bit wild, but I think at the end of the day the colours and patterns of this collection harmonize extremely well. I know exactly what kind of quilting work is awaiting me in the next few days : finish the quilt top, prepare the backing, get the sandwich done, pin and quilt and quilt and quilt !!
Happy quilting, Barb
