We have a monthly challenge at the LMQG, this month saw us all try our hardest, to make a 12" square mini quilt that represents what Modern Quilting means to us. 12 of them will be exhibited in the Bistro at John Lewis, (a large department store) in Oxford Street throughout June.
Yep, we all pulled out all the stops for this one. It's going to be hard to choose which ones to vote for though.
This is my entry, and I'm rather pleased with it. If it's not one of the chosen ones, I promise I won't mind. I love it anyway.
I used freezer paper and hand appliqued the circles and then hand quilted the circles in lots of juicy colours.
I also got to use my hand screen printed yummy labels.
Now that's done I intend to start quilting my actual quilt, it's been basted for quite a while but I have been a little afraid to start it, and wasn't sure how to quilt it. I'm still not, but the fear is subsiding.
Linking in with Freshly Pieced and our creative spaces, in it's new home. What's on your crafty table right now?
Beautiful quilt and I think the display will be stunning whatever the quilts chosen.
