Welcome!!
A little about the design
Anybody who knows me knows that I love to cook, and so when I received a consignment of mangoes with which to make the coming year's supply ot mango chutney, I got a lot of pleasure out of watching them ripen in the warmth of my kitchen for a few days before I could prep them and the perfume was truly amazing. Coupled with the bowl of figs which sat nearby and the smell of vanilla from my baking it was really a sensory overload... and so the new idea for a design was born. It is just a shame I can't incorporate the wonderful scents into the design too!
To get the most out of this exercise I really recommend you join the Facebook group I have set up for everybody doing the project. There, I will answer questions more quickly than by email usually, share recipes and stories and create a sort of online ‘bee’ where we can all just enjoy each other’s company, no matter where in the world we find ourselves. On Facebook, follow this link - https://www.facebook.com/groups/542144823258134/ or just drop me a line on zelda@modernwelshquilts.com so I can add you

Technical Stuff
The quilt measures around 92" square when finished. If you want it bigger, just add more borders! It is an ten month programme, starting in October 2019 |
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. |
