A little about the design

A friend of mine, who has Swedish heritage, suggested I might like to consider designing something in blue, yellow and white to celebrate her ancestry. This was an idea I found intriguing, and hit Google to do some research on Swedish customs and traditions to see if there was anything which sparked my imagination.  Discovering there is quite a celebration around the midsummer solstice in Sweden was enough to get me going.. and... this is the result. You can enjoy it, I hope, even if you haven't got a drop of Swedish blood in you, because who doesn't like the idea of the warm, happy, days of summer?

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.

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.

Technical Stuff

The quilt measures around 88" x 104" when finished. If you want it bigger, just add more borders!

It is a ten month programme, starting in December 2019
