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

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Children

Style: Casual, Classic, Funky, Whimsical, Eco-Friendly, Traditional, Romantic, Cute, Retro / Vintage, Mod


Materials

Fabric, Dresden plate ruler, fusible webbing, batting, thread and basting spray.

What was your inspiration?

This is a commissioned piece for a 3 year old girl whose favourite colours are yellow and orange. I was going to do a more traditional dresden plate quilt, but in the end decided that a bit of whimsy was required! :)

What are you most proud of?

It's my own design and all pieced and quilted on my little Brother machine. The quilting of the wind was challenging on such a small machine, but I think it worked out pretty well.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid to try! It's never as hard as we think it will be! :)

Great idea to use extra blocks. It is beautiful. Might have to try and make a wallhanging for my hallway.
