Clattering Noises

 Stash busting time! Rummaging through my scrap stash and work out a quilt that can turn waste into Beauty is one of my favourite things to do. The tried and tested wave quilt is an ideal pattern, easily adaptable to the fabric that is available. This one is yellow background and blues/greens for the waves. For the backing, I used some red and some brown fabric that sat in the stash for ages It is a small one, 87x104 cm (34” by 41”). I will drop it at the next Linus Meeting make it to, hopefully in August. 

 I set myself a New Year’s resolution! Make a quilt for my son. He sees me making all those baby and children’s quilts for project Linus, and he is sometimes asking me: when do I get my quillt? My son is turning 12 in June, so I thought I research and test a pattern before I dive in to make his 12th birthday quilt. The pattern I chose is the stained glass window quilt from quiltylove. I make this test baby size quilt up with a white background, light grey diamonds and bright primary colour solid gems (the „windows“). I really love this bright, happy version, but for my 12yo (almost teenage) son, it will be blues and greens. Spoiler: I did not manage to finish the quilt for his big day, but had started a couple of panels for him, so he got a little peek of what it will look like.  Final size was 90cm x 120 cm, 36” by 48”. Will be donated to project Linus hopefully in August  2025.
