plum quilt

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Women

Style: Traditional


Materials

cotton

What was your inspiration?

The fabric! I wanted large squares to feature while still having more complicated (paper pieced ) blocks. I like the sophistication of the color palette - plum/pink/taupe/sage

What are you most proud of?

This was supposed to be my masterpiece - but somewhere the math went awry. I had to make do around the edges. Still Pretty, though

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't expect perfection. It is often helpful to follow a pattern when your math is wonky.

I'm useless at maths too, but I think the answer is to buy too much fabric (as if we would!!!!) so we can be inventive if necessary! I think your quilt's lovely and no one would ever know it wasn't exactly what you intended in the first place!
