Moda Jelly Roll Printemps

I can't claim the glory for this one. My sister came round for the day and made this. It is super simple to make. The tutorial above is how she made it.

Moda Layer Cake and Charm Pack - Chantilly

I have now got the quilting bug. I made this quilt in a couple of days. It is the Moda Layer Cake and Charm Pack - Chantilly. I opted of straight line quilting which I did close together. I have to say it was really hard work doing this but I am really pleased with the overall look it gave. I bought my layer cake and charm pack at the Make it show in Farnborough  this is the shop that I bought it from http://www.therunningchicken.co.uk/. They were so helpful, as I really had no idea what I was going to do with them. The suggestions they made were helpful and as a result I made my first large quilt I was proud of.

My first attempt at free motion quilting

So I have been rather busy! Over the half term I wanted to have a go at something I had never tried before so I opted for quilting. I have to say I have found it throughly enjoyable. I have only made two small cot sized quilts at the moment. The thought of anything larger seems a little to daunting at this point. I opted for a jelly roll, and I have managed to make two small quilts out of one roll. The one I am sharing today was the simpler of the two to make. The quilting was the harder of the two.
