Sixteen blocks

Yesterday I started to work on the fabrics that my son brought me, shown in my last post.

I am making this quilt for my sister's 60th birthday. As she will use it in her house near the sea, I chose various tunes of blue and beige recalling the beach, and I named it Sea and Sand.

I will need 64 blocks, and so far I finished 16.

The final size of this lap quilt will be 66" x 66".

For the beginners who may be interested, I had posted the step by step Log Cabin tutorial HERE.

Preparation of a baby girl quilt, as shown in this tutorial.

I selected soft tunes of variegated pinks, and neutral hues of beige, from taupe to white.

Cutting the fabrics.

A few days later : a first attempt to organize my blocks on the design board.

Thank you so much for your visits!

Antique Doll Quilt and Bunny

Detail

Today I will show you the second antique doll quilt from the batch, previously shown in this post,
that I received in London last month.

I think that brown, beige and pink are perfectly matching colors, one of my favorite antique fabrics blends.

Nice white and blue calicot and nice hand quilting.

Books

I am a great fan of Beatrix Potter art, and those little books are remains from my childhood.

Books

For those who may be interested in Beatrix Potter art and life, I recommend this excellent film : Miss Potter, with Renee Zellweger in the role of Beatrix Potter. I was so delighted when I first saw this film, that I watched it again and again... This is one of my best films ever!

My little porcelain bunny.

Have a beautiful creative day!

Patchwork Baby Curtain

Today, just showing a curtain I sewed for my grand son's bedroom. I bought 1m 50 of ecru cotton 

fabric (width 2m40).

I used the leftovers from this baby quilt and from this baby bumper to sew a decorative band.

The squares are the same size as for the nine patch blocks of the baby quilt.

I think that this will give the last touch of harmony to the bedroom.

Next picture when the curtain will be hanged on the window (first we have to buy the pole).

Greetings from London.
