of both Daisy Janie’s (organic cotton) "Shades of Grey" range,
and Malka Dubrawsky’s "Stitch In Color" range.
One day I started having a play by making some half-square triangles.
One thing led to another and some cute modern blocks appeared.
The main background fabric is Dapple Dot. Block borders are Ragg Tagg. Back and binding is Zipper Tape. These three are all from the "Shades Of Grey" organic cotton range by Daisy Janie. All still available in my Etsy Store.
The vibrant turquoise of Malka’s fabric was so fun to work with. I bought mine from Stitches N’Giggles.
I have loved working with the gorgeous cotton fabrics from the shirt pockets, and the Daisy Janie organic cotton range "Shades of Grey".
The sea is Zipper Tape, and the sky is Dapple Dot..both from Daisy Janie Fabrics….available from my Etsy Store.
Don’t you just love the cute sail boats?
The binding is made from the lovely "Stitch In Color" range by Malka Dubrawsky. Having just had fun giving some of her fabric range away, with the help of Lori at Stitches N’ Giggles…I just had to order some for myself. It had just arrived in the mail when I was deciding on the binding.
The sashings and back are made with Ragg Tagg, also from the "Shades of Grey" range.
I did have fun making the half square triangles for the top and bottom borders..as they have a "sail -like" appearance too.
The colors are definitely better in the quilt itself than in the photos (room for improvement!).
I did use the Random Number Generator but have not worked out the order of events to use it and get it to stay on my page with the chosen number intact. This has taken so much longer than anticipated, and I am in need of a cup of tea!
Thanks so much for everyone who entered. I wonder what Margaret will do with her new fabric?
This fun event is in celebration of St Patrick’s day. This day was also the day before my mother’s birthday so I am happy to think of her keeping an eye on things from afar. She would have enjoyed it!
A couple of months ago I bought a fabric bundle from Lori at Stitches ‘N Giggles. It was a whole bunch of the "Amelia" range, designed by Me & My Sister, from MODA.
So I am happy to announce this giveaway as being three of these wonderful bright and girly fabrics.
I am very happy to post internationally.
Just please leave a comment on my blog, introducing yourself. Any Facebook sharing is much appreciated.
The lucky winner will be drawn after the competition closes on March 23rd.
I may have jumped the gun a bit by being early, I hope it is better than late.:)
Meanwhile I am increasingly frustrated at my sewing machine being "out of order" at present…see previous post… the parts arrived and turned out to be the wrong ones….more days tick by. One of the upsides of all this is that my garden is increasingly tidy.
I am very happy to be working on a commission at present, for a baby quilt. I have had good time for planning and have even got the blocks set out and ready to be sewn. This is a surprise gift for a new baby, so I don’t feel I can show you until the recipient sees it first. It’s looking pretty cute though!
So, do please have some fun and enter the giveaway by leaving a friendly comment for me.
