Scraps & Gadgets.

Image
I have been working on scraps to make new blocks, when I make a quilt, I often make far too many pieces and then have to work out another way to use them. The scraps are small, only 2″ by about 5″, but they are fun to play with. That’s my lot for today, Take care, Will.

An easy to make Irish Chain quilt.

The Irish Chain quilt is a beautiful, simple country style quilt, this method is a easy way of creating it, either with a lot of colours or only a few. This is perfect for jelly rolls or for using scraps. This original method was quite involved but as always, these things evolve and now there is a simple way of making this quilt. I have been away from quilting for a while and making shirts instead, it’s nice to do a little more quilting, I stopped because I just have too many unfinished projects. I’ve completed about ten over the years but do struggle with the ‘sandwiching’ part; not easy on a domestic machine. I still have to finish the Safari Suit I started, I made the sample or muslin, but haven’t bought the fabric yet – maybe after Christmas. A storm is brewing, it may cool things down a bit, it was supposed to be a wet summer, but it has been so dry, great after all the flooding. Thank you for watching, Regards, Will. Please share this:
