My youngest sister got married in January, and I said I
would make her and her husband a quilt.
When I asked what kind of quilt they would like, her now husband said he
liked my quilt Ruled by Chocolate. I had
some of the fabric from that quilt left and made something in similar colours with
a more contemporary feel.
This won’t get quilted until this January, so I will be
keeping with the tradition of giving them their wedding quilt around their
first wedding anniversary.
It is a big quilt and I had a lovely white extra wide fabric
from Brenda at Widebacks (great place to go for extra wide backings).
It was the wrong colour so I thought I would
try tea dying for the first time. It
came out a lovely creamy colour and I was really happy with the result.
very nice...
ReplyDeletegorgeous quilt - can't wait to see how you decide to quilt it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on the tea staining Desley... The quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe tea dyeing turned out great. Looking forward to seeing how you quilt this one.
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised your sister chose a quilt like Ruled by Chocolate - I can't wait to see how you quilt this one.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Desley. A love the design and the colour
ReplyDeleteThe subtle Colours in this and the asymmetric design are just great. Well done.
