The Wedding Quilt

A lovely friend of mine got married last weekend, and what better gift than a handmade quilt. The invitation specifically requested second hand, homemade or hand made presents, so a quilt with fabric scraps was absolutely perfect.

I dug out all the bits of Vintage Modern left from the 2012 BOM, then added any other bits of Bonnie and Camille fabric I has on hand. On the back I used the Ikea number print left over from my Scrappy Tripalong.

I'm so pleased with how it turned out, and both the bride and groom were very happy to receive it.

 

Scrap Quilt

When I finished the 2012 BOM quilt, I packed away all the leftover fabric, knowing there was enough to start another quilt, but having already made two Vintage Modern quilts. Then I got an invite to a wedding, and a little light bulb went off inside my head.

So I cut as many 8" squares as possible, adding in a little Happy Go Lucky and Scrumptious and I think even one piece of Bliss, stitched like a maniac, and it was done!

Just need to get this one quilted, and the Star Blossoms quilt, before Christmas. And guess what?! This is my 500th blog post!

Scrumptious by Bonnie and Camille

I've been a little bit lucky and managed to get my hands on pre-cuts for Scrumptious well ahead of it's October release date. It's such a pretty range!
