I don't normally quilt anything myself unless it is small, runners, small wall hangings and pretty much nothing bigger than 36 by 36. I watched a YouTube this past week on quilting on your domestic machine and thought I might be crazy, but I would give it a try.
Lori Holt from the Fat Quarter shop had a YouTube tutorial on these 10 inch butterfly blocks so I figured that I would attempt to eliminate my Tilda stash. At this point I can only get 20 blocks cut out of my Tilda leftovers. I will have to turn the blocks and set 4 across and 5 down. It will require lattice strips of probably 2 inches. So should come out at 46 by 58. Well, if I was able to do quilt the Wonky Blocks quilt successfully I figure I can manage this Butterfly quilt.
I finished my other Tilda quilt last week. It will be turned into my Warm Wrappings charity group to be quilted, bound and distributed to 5 local agencies in our area in October. I had a goal of making 12 quilt tops for them this year and this completes my commitment.
This coming week I am making some spring placemats for myself and very possibly doing some more quilting of those butterflies too.
CONFESSIONS OF A FABRIC ADDICT
Yeah!! Well done, you quilted it beautifully. I love the butterflies blocks, pretty Tilda fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these beauties, and linking up ;)
I only quilt small quilts myself too, wall hangings, cot quilts, can do a single quilt too if I take my time. My theory is, if they are donation quilts, I'll do simple quilting on them myself. I love your pretty butterflies.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on quilting your first quilt on your Bernina 750. That encourages me to try on my own Bernina! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour butterfly blocks came out lovely! I’m thinking that might work for my 30’s fabrics!
Your charity quilt is also lovely.
Happy Stitching!
