Orphan blocks

 

Orphan blocks, we all have them, I love using them up, simply size up and sash!

APQ quilt

Oh I loved this one! Loved making it, can’t remember the title but it was a low volume quilt. Lots of piecing but I loved the options it gave me for refining the process! I used up loads of lovely vintage fqs, some very happy memories here.
 

Mardi Gras quilt

Oooohhh now this one brings back memories! All good ones, Mardi Gras quilt, pattern by Carol Munro

I used to do lots of classes at Seattle quilt company up in Aberdeen. It was a great quilt shop, lovely class space, I would go up on a Friday night, have a blast out on the town with chums then me and Irene would rock up hungover to the quilt class 😂😂 I was a bit scared about doing curves but Carol is a fab teacher and it was a skoosh as we say!!! Lots of happy memories in this one.

I have no clue to what this quilt was!!

 Ok I remember making this quilt but have no recollection of the pattern etc, total blank on this one! But what a fun scrappy quilt to make, I don’t even know if I have the pattern any more but it would be pretty easy to re create.

Muckhart row by row

 

Ahhhhh Muckhart, what super memories of that group. This was a block of the month they did, a row by row quilt, loved the yellow contrast with the teal floral borders.

Pile o fabric skill builder quilt

 I am carrying on in my quest to recreate all the blog posts I accidentally deleted! Yes I know I am so Sheldon!!

This was my finished quilt from the skill builder quilt along by Pile o Fabric. I used my favourite fabric at the time for the background it was a bright pink polka dot fabric from IKEA. I bought meters of it! I love looking back at this quilt because I had such a happy time making it. Really did, my version was very different to most of the others which were very modern and beautiful but I liked mine too, it epitomises my style 😊 i think it was one of my first attempts at quilt as you go as you can see from the back. It went to siblings I think. I loved this one! I think the inset circle block was my favourite to make, I was quite intimidated by it at first but the directions were really good.
