Quilting: My first completed lap quilt
12 kudoz

My first completed lap quilt

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Scrap Quilting »

Instructions

I designed it on paper first as Pepper does. It is made up of 12 nine patch blocks and 5 applique hearts plus plain spot squares.

I backed it with fleece as I thought it would be more cosy.

I used the machine sewn binding technique and have learnt a lot of what not to do
Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Materials

Cottons and cotton /polyester blends from my stash for the front. Pink fleece for the backing (also from my stash!) and quite a deep wadding I bought for some reason a few years ago ;-)

It's difficult to believe that that's your very first quilt - it's lovely! Well done! I really like the little appliqued hearts. I'm very happy to see you're becoming as addicted to quilting as I am. My house is never clean or tidy nowadays and everyone who visits goes home covered in thread and cat's hairs!

it's nice and warm on the legs when the house is a bit cold but you don't want to light the fire. It is unseasonly cold in Britaiin at the moment ! x
