Remember the 700+ squares that I needed to cut for my plans for three memory quilts? Yep, this is them. That was a bit of a cutting marathon, but once I was in the groove I just kept cutting and counting (and choosing new iplayer programmes to catch up on).
So as you can see above and below I used the pile of aqua charms and the pile of red charms as background fabrics for each of the girls' quilts. The hearts are compiled from their dad's shirt squares and I think they are contrasting enough to work well.
These quilts are made to Judith's Pixellated Heart Quilt pattern which I used very successfully before. I'm hoping to piece these over the next few weeks and see a little more progress before too long. Meanwhile a small pile of shirt fabrics and bright print squares awaits layout when I feel my back is up to crawling around the living room floor again!
You've made a wonderful start! Hope your back forgives you soon so you can sort out the layout of the third quilt!
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous! I'm in love with the red background.
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWow! These are even better than I had imagined!! I think you should put your 2 men to work & get them to crawl around the floor for you!! You sit down, put your feet up and give the orders! Jxo
ReplyDeletewow! I am in awe of the amount of cutting you have done!.. new blade? lol x
ReplyDeleteWow, Sarah they are looking great. Well done. You are working hard.
ReplyDeleteI love Judith advice :) They are going to be lovely. Never thought shirts can look so good in a quilt
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful and glad you had enough squares. I was thinking, the "off cuts", the button band, the button hole band, the neck bit, you could foundation these on to sheeting and make pouches for them? Just to add to your work load.
ReplyDeleteThey look so so perfect Sarah - well done!!
ReplyDeleteusing the two contrasting sets of prints works a treat! absolutely beautiful, sarah.
ReplyDeleteThey look gorgeous, it's such a good pattern to use.
