Strip Quilt
OK - I know this colourful quilt top doesn't match the wallpaper - but I just laid it out in the spare bedroom to check if it was big enough to cover a double bed.
I've still to back and quilt this top and it's going to be given to a local charity to use in a raffle, It was easily pieced - Just strip piecing onto a foundation - and it used up lots of scraps plus some fat quarters that I wasn't so fond of. When pieced like this however, I don't dislike any of the fabrics in this top.
I was a bit unsure how to quilt it - but took some advice from Barbara, a prize winning quilter who is in the local quilt group. I'm keeping it simple with some crossed wavy lines.
I had hoped to have it finished in time for this weekend as I go on holiday next week - but it's not going to happen!. I'm missing the town's 'Charities Day' when we could probably have sold quite a lot of raffle tickets for this. Never mind, I'll have it finished in time for the Highland Games day in August.
What do you think? Would you buy a raffle ticket?
