Some of you may remember that I entered a competition earlier this year to design a quilt pattern for publication in a jelly roll book. Well, needless to say I was unsuccessful but I thought I'd show you the finished quilt top anyway. Here's The Half Time Quilt:
I finally got word today that I have the rights back to the pattern so I will be publishing the pattern here soon. Whether anyone will ever use it remains to be seen but as I went to all the trouble of writing the pattern it seems a shame for it to go to waste. It's super easy to make and I think it's perfect for beginners as it's so simple. This quilt top is huge (to me anyway) at 72" square....I'm dreading quilting this one! I have made some smaller items using the same method so when I put the pattern up I'll show the variations too, whether you want to see them or not ;-)
Finally, another reason to smile appeared at my door last night...
...woohoo, a full fat quarter set of Little Apples from the USA. I just couldn't wait for them to come in over here and at just about £50 including customs and p&p I think that was a bargain! Catch you soon, I'm off to stroke fabric x
Edited to add Free Pattern now available here I'm not sure how to upload a pattern that you can print off but if you want a version that you can print send me a message and I'll email it to you. If you do use the pattern I'd love to see your finished product :)
oooooooh little apples. Your quilt has drawn me over here from flickr. I do hope you'll share more about it including how you did it. But please don't tell me you whipped it up during half time in a footie match because I'd struggle to do a mug rug in that time - however simple!!!! PIF pinnie is adorable - love the fabrics especially the scissors.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt - well done on designing it, its fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love your JR quilt - I think it should have been included...it's great that you're going to make it available as a pattern though! Love the pincushion and the Little Apples bundle looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI think your quilt is great, and the offer of sharing the pattern is very kind of you. I might consider getting my granddaughter to have a go if you really think it is for beginners.
ReplyDeleteLove the PIF, the jelly roll quilt looks brilliant - I'll be pinning your pattern for sure, and Little Apples already - lucky you! I have some on order, can't wait for that parcel!
ReplyDeleteHalf time is a great design, I'm looking forward to having a good nosey at the pattern!
ReplyDeleteShame about your JR quilt - it's their loss and our gain!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteThose wonderland goodies are fab. I am obsessed with this fabric line and have built an embarrassing stash that I dare not cut into, silly I know! Looking forward to seeing the pattern. Where did you get your apples?
