colour crush quilt...


it's half term again...last month came and went in a blur...and I needed something to distract me...so I delved into my fabric stash and got to work...
 

using my all time faves (it took some deep breaths to chop in to some of them) I started on another quilt...


triangles this time...and a few neon's...I have loved making this :) I didn't really know what I was doing and there were moments of despair...like when I realised I had sewn them into hexagons instead of stripes...but I grabbed the unpicker and started again...


there have been some very late nights and I took it everywhere to make sure I could finish it....


using my favourite bobbly  60's sheet for the back..


and made a border in a pretty floral.. neon triangles and vintage patterns together are my favourite :)


yesterday when the sun was shining...it almost felt like spring and I sat outside my little shed and did the final hand stitching...


I'm so happy with how it turned out...
I am still sorting out the fabrics and keep adding them to my shop whenever I can ...there is a little sale on at the moment too...
hope you are having a lovely week x x x x x
