Double Four Patch Quilt Offered

Over years you could follow the slow progress of my Double Four Patch quilt.
I cannot believe myself that I had the patience to cut and assemble 2200 squares!
Anyway, it is now in good hands : I offered it to my sister who will use it as a wall hanger in her lounge.
She had planned to visit us last month and I managed to finished it just in time.
Those pictures were taken last month as snow started to fall. You can see some snow flakes on my sister's red coat.
We were too cold to hang the quilt outside to show it entirely, but you will see it soon exhibited on the wall of her lounge.

Double Four Patch Quilt Finished

At last finished! Machine pieced and machine quilted. I have used mainly leftovers from my Civil War repro fabrics stash. On the last three pictures I have displayed it on my small Tumbling Blocks quilt, as well done with Civil War fabrics.

My sister, for whom I did this quilt, is arriving to Greece very soon and I am so happy I managed to finish it in time!

Double Four Patch

In my previous post I showed you a baby crib bumper, and promised a tutorial. However, in the meantime I received a mail informing me that there is a potential danger in using crib bumpers. After checking and reading this link I decided not to write the tutorial I had prepared. My next tutorial will be for a pinwheel baby quilt... hoping there is not any danger in using baby quilts!

In the meantime, as a new year starts, I decided to have a look at my UFOs stored in transparent boxes, and to move forward... rather to try...  There is this Double Four Patch top abandoned half way (what a pity) for more urgent baby quilts sewing! I would like to finish it as it is one of my favorites. I used Civil War prints with some wonderful colors, such as the blue and the purple ones. The problem is how to go on with it when babies are being born one after the other in my family and friends and I always have a new baby quilt to sew...

Dear Jane

As winter is coming, the warm tunes of my Dear Jane fabrics attract
me again! Therefore, I thought of putting aside my Flower Garden
project for next spring, as I enjoy sewing those colourful hexagons
 early in the morning in the garden.
