Welcome!!
A little about the design
This design came about because although Wales had been in lockdown longer, the UK as a whole went into its third lockdown shortly after Christmas 2020 and I thought everybody needed something to focus on and work on together to keep our spirits up. I had designed 'Lockdown Blues' in spring 2020 for a similar reason during the first lockdown and that is also available still if anybody is really at a loose end!
As this time around there is the promise of the vaccine giving us, hopefully, a way out of this mess I took as my inspiration the quote from Victor Hugo which is the banner image for the project. Let's all look with hope to the future as we work on this one!

Technical Stuff
The finished quilt measures around 88" x 104", the central section is around 76" if you want a smaller project
It is going to have six instalments which will come out at roughly 2 week intervals from the middle of January 2021 |
Instalments
I have specified the range of fabrics I have used to design this quilt top, 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. |
