Welcome!!
A little about the design
When I was designing this, I was being a right miserable old moo as I had cracked ribs, amongst other things, following a nasty fall. I don't deal with being restricted in movement very well, so I was trying to thing of things which make me happy - and food is one of those things, as my waistline will testify.
It was also high summer when I was playing with some ideas, which to me means FRUIT. I could happily exist on various fruits, cheese and bread in the hotter months and the variety of things on offer in this season is soooo tempting I am quite often very naughty when it comes to filling my shopping basket.
At least quilting is relatively calorie free, and as perforce this programme will be worked on during the winter months too, when perhaps there isn't such a joyful profusion of produce around on which to gorge, I tried to pack in as much fruitful happiness as possible so we can be hopefully cheered up when things are grey, dull and potatoes are the order of the day
It is a ten month project, starting in August 2023

Technical Stuff
The quilt is around 92" x 108" although there is considerable scope to make it larger or smaller when it comes to adjusting borders. It will be a ten month project. |
Instalments
I specify the range of fabrics I have used to design this quilt top in the first instalment, but you don't necessarily have to use them. You can diet your stash!
BUT... please, if you don't want to be disappointed, pay close attention to the depth and tone of the fabrics I have used. A lot of the impact of the design comes from this, and it will help you get a good result if you try to stay on the page as regards your substitutions. |
