Quilt number 1: The ten year itch
This was my first ever quilt. It keeps us warm in the winter time. It was a pull out over winter project which I started when I was nineteen. Fast forward ten years and I finished it! Talk about losing motivation. It is machine pieced and hand quilted (225 squares). These are not colours I would choose today but it still has a nice 'country/homemade' feel to it.
Quilt number 2: Isabella's baby quilt
I started this quilt when I was only nine weeks pregnant with Isabella. Pattern is my own and fabrics are from Patchwork on Central Park. She has outgrown it now as she has progressed to a bed. But it sits folded on her chair in the corner of her room. Machine pieced and hand quilted.
Quilt number 3: Juliette's baby quilt
This quilt was also started while I was pregnant (and didn't know the sex). I chose the colour scheme of orange, green and brown as I thought this was pretty safe. Pattern is from Homespun magazine and fabrics are from Patchwork on Central Park. Machine pieced and hand quilted.
Quilt number 4: Indianna's baby quilt
This quilt was made for my friend Karen's baby - Indianna. It is my first attempt at machine quilting. Pattern is from Quilts Baby book and fabrics are from various places!
Quilts to come: Isabella's bed quilt, ...?
