Clattering Noises

The snap up of a 3$ magazine yielded two quilts for far, see here and here . Whilst the star one was fun, it is a bit oversized. So I decided to make another gingham one! This time in two hues of blue. Check out that cute background. Sale clearance snap up!  This one will go to project Linus and hopefully it will bring  some joy to a bigger kid or teen. Finished measurements 93cm x 132cm (35.5” x  52“). 

  I picked up a 3$ craft magazine in Perth during the holidays (who could resist a magazine sale like that?). Turned out there was not much in there that I could or wanted to make - with the exception of two quilt patterns. After making this gingham quilt, I tried out the second pattern, a star quilt. I had a warm yellow solid fabric in my stash and und that as the main colour. All triangle panels were made with cute animal fabrics, also from my stash. The pattern is easy to follow and all panels  lined up easily. I loved how it all came together. This one will go to project Linus, even though it is too large (140 cm by 140cm — 55“ by 55”) for the hospital. Hopefully another charity will get it instead.

Turned out there was not much in there that I could or wanted to make - with the exception of two quilt patterns. This gingham pattern caught my eye. Usually I get a lot of joy out of using up my stash - but this pattern called for fabric in two hues. I found a fabric in a bright yellow and orange. A second version of a quilt made by the same pattern is here - to be honest, i think that one is more successful, given it has a stronger contrast between the light and dark blues.  Anyway, I am happy that I tried something new. And I ended up using some stash background fabric, which made me even happier! This one will go to project Linus and hopefully it will bring  some joy to a bigger kid or teen.
