Clattering Noises

  For this quilt I followed the snowball fight quilt , which I used before . The fabrics were some assorted animal prints, some under water themed, and some more garden inspired (flowers and bees). They were tied together with the solid colour, a dark petrol. The background was a mix of solid navy and some puppies. The quilting lines followed the inside of the octagons. Finished size 88x123 cm (35“x48“). Donated to project Linus QLD chapter in November 2021.

The little red riding hood jelly roll was already used in these two quilts: #1  and #2 . But there were still full strips and some scraps left. I found  this tutorial  and got inspired. The roll had still some red, pinks and greens left as well as the lighter strips. I was just short of a few, which i filled in with solid white and some scraps from another jelly roll. This quilt is quick to make. It was super fun arranging the colours and I could not be happier with the result. It must be my favourite make so far! Finished size100x128cm (40“x50“). Donated to project Linus QLD chapter in November 2021. The backing was a mix of black/grey/white and a rainbow. I did not heavily  quilt it - I went along the center lines of the light strips. This quilt is yet to find a new home.   

From the leftover fabrics of this quilt  and with the tried and tested  pattern  from  this quilt , I made this gem. This time, I went for 1-4-4-4 pieces of different fabrics instead of the 1-4-8 that is used before. This gave me more flexibility when trying to get the most out of the scraps. I love how this quilt looks retro and modern at the same time. Now, usually I am not showing the full backing. But this one I just had to. Again, trying to make most of leftover fabrics, I made this green meadow. It makes me so happy - flowers in the front, meadow in the back. In terms of quilting, I tried a new technique from the   original tutorial   I used a multi-zigzag about 1inch apart. This makes the top less blocky and worked perfectly for this quilt. Finished size 88x114 cm (35“x45“). I intended to donate the quilt to Project Linus, but at the final meeting for the year, the lovely ladies talked me into giving it to my work colleague who just ha...
