When I was still new to quilting, I decided to use what I had of fabrics to make a huge bed cover; measuring approx 95" x 105" (2.35 x 2.65m). I became overwhelmed by the thought of quilting it, and that is why it became a UFO. After Easter last year I decided to complete some of the UFO's and did bast the three layers together, but it still remained a UFO....
I still have so much to learn when it comes to patchwork and quilting, and what I had never thought of earlier was "tying quilts", using pearl cotton. I got the idea from a member at one of craft groups I belong to - thanks Diane! :-) I believe tying it is a much better solution than doing it on the sewing machine, due to the size.
I've already bought the pearl cotton, but don't ask me when I'll start tying it! :-) Perhaps hubby wants to do it?! He always says his fingers are "thick" when it comes to fine work! :-)
Birre-liten always "prevents me from ironing"! :-) He loves sleeping at the ironing board. I guess he doesn't fully realize I have to use it sometimes too... If I try moving him slightly he gets annoyed and tries to bite me and I'm sure he wants to say; "keep off - this is my place"! :-)
Ever since I saw the pattern of these yummy pies I have always wanted to make the tablecloth. (Design by Brenda Groelz). I didn't manage to get all the fruit- and cream fabrics so had to use some substitutes for some of the blocks. After collecting the needed fabrics for the pies, I started making them last weekend. I love foundation piecing; it's a great method for piecing accurate points, odd angles and tiny pieces. The background fabric was supposed to be directional, but I skipped that part as I didn't have enough fabric for it. It had been an excellent excuse for buying more though... :-)) I have done all the nine blocks required for the tablecloth (approx 35" x 35"), but still haven't decided which fabrics to use for sashing, inner- and outer border and binding.
