I have all my Noah and Matilda blocks sewn together! I opted with this layout because I want to hand quilt it. The original has the blocks on point with lots of blank blocks in between.
I still have the borders to make. I (hopefully!) have all the grapes made and I have made a start on the flowers and leaves.
Here are a few of my favourite blocks...
I have kept up with CCCQ, so here is the penultimate block!!
Block 32 Alice Carlile.
I have started back stitching Mountellick from last year's Quiltmania mystery BOM. I am working on part 2, the first border around the centre medallion.
I am using BOM fabrics from Threadbear.
I have put together some hexies using Cotton & Steel fabrics.
These are for the top of a small bag.
Earlier this week I visited a new shop here in Melbourne. Cutting Cloth has been open only a few days and is run by Kellie of Don't Look Now. The shop is set out beautifully.
I came home with a lovely piece of Cotton & Steel lawn, some fat quarters of Alison Glass fabric and the perfect piece of fabric for my Joseph's Coat quilt that I started on line with Kellie several years ago! The top has been finished for ages. I have just been trying to find the prefect backing fabric.
Today I put the last stitch in the binding of small quilt.
More photos when the quilt has been gifted.
dear miriam, noah and matilda looks so good ,i am looking foreward at the border,have a nice day,susi

ReplyDeleteNoah & Matilda would love your version of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteNice setting of the blocks for handquilting!! It really makes it look more balanced. Love your green and red fabrics!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning quilt. Your work is perfection and I bet you're really looking forward to quilting it. Looking forward to seeing the berry borders.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the original pattern versus your setting. Your setting is so striking and I love the colors. The border will make the quilt pop even more. Absolutely beautiful! Nanette doitrightquilter.wordpress.com
