I have recently finished 6 quilted placemats which I adore very much. I will be sending it off to my Modern She Made Swap Partner soon so I plan to make two more in Black and white for me and hub.
Hi!
I am back with this quilt and I can say it is finally finished! I put it aside for quite sometimes, after quilting it a quarter way. Then I moved house, and haven’t got the mood to start quilting it again in my smaller sewing space (I shall share with you soon) until last weekend. The quilt has a fold crease now, but I hope it goes away after washing.
I had fun doing free-motion quilting on this quilt. Just swirls and bubbles (or pebbles). The stars were quilted with swirls evolving from the center.
The story behind this quilt? I received my briar rose bundle, decided to cut them as equilateral triangles, then I played around with those triangles. I ended up with this Stars which I group it in Diamond hence the name ~ blergh. Then I decided to add the border. I still have many triangles left, maybe I’ll make another quick baby quilt.
I love this line of fabrics, the colours made me smile. Made me wish I have a baby girl. I am going to keep this quilt or probably gift it to my sister.
Quilt Stats :
Fabrics : Heather Rose Briar Rose Collection + Kona White
Size : 58 x 78″
Batting : Warm and Natural Cotton
Machine bound and domestic machine quilted (Janome QCP8200)
Overall, I love the end result, but I wish I have more bed size quilts these days. So, my next projects are going to be more of bed quilts. I love the satisfying feeling of dressing up the bed with quilts I made. What do you do with so many small quilt? My sofa is full, and most of my smaller quilts are just folded, which made me feel sad.
Hope you have a fun holiday! Enjoy the beautiful Spring for those having Spring time, and enjoy Fall for those down-under!

Here is my last post for the About A Quilt Sampler! This quilt uses the ‘Quilt-As-You-Go’ technique.Thank you for keeping up with me, it was a lovely journey of documenting this QAL.
If you happen to land here first, I have archived all of the posts HERE so you can go through all the tutorials for each block and quilting tutorials included in this quilt-along.
We are now at a stage where we can piece all the blocks together and finally bind the quilt!
Just a little centrepiece for the party, some toys borrowed from my little one, a cake I quickly whipped up, and some printed onesies shirts as banners |
The ladies who created chaos at Pancake Parlour! Haha |
Me and mum to be and the gift – quilt! |
I love the mushroom…and the colours of this line is so lovely! I used several pieces of fat eights of Sarah Watson’s Indian Summer. |
And because it was fat eights, none was enough for sashing, so I decided to do scrappy ones! Sew them in rows and press. |
Then cut into sashing strips |
I did a simple free motion stippling – which was fun! Have not done this for so long! |
Winter time is really not kind to photography session… and yes, that’s my little helper peeking there. As usual! Hehe. |
