She is finished. My Tilda Quilt NO 1.
She is made from 30 10"/25cm squares. Most of the fabric is from
Tilda by Tone Finnanger. For a special My Rose Valley twist, I have added one of my big time favorite vintage sheets (can you guess which one???) and a couple of other nice prints from my stash.
I love her. I adore her. She is so cuddly because her backing is made from fleece only. She is quilted with diagonal lines (using masking tape as guide lines, see
here...) making a fresh tipped over square pattern. This was a bit of an experiment as haven't quilted fleece before... I wasn't sure if it would work but it turned out absolutely great!
♥ TIPS ♥: Spray baste the 2 layered quilt and pin a lot as fleece tend to stretch and move otherwise. And also I let go a little bit on the tension of the upper thread. That really helped.
The binding was machine stitched with mitered corners and I have to say I am starting to get really good at the binding part now :D. I still remember
my very first quilting project and how I struggled, cursed and almost ended up in tears...
The blanket measures 55" x 47"/ 140cm x 120cm. A perfect size to cuddle up in under or spread out for a picnic. Pretty much the same size as
My Summer House Quilt. She is such a sweetie. Almost to sweet for me. Honestly. I am not really this much pastel or pretty... But my small girls are. :D
Now I am preparing for Tilda Quilt No 2. In blues. You remember
my blue Tilda stash???
Kärlek

ReplyDeleteÄr på semester och har helt missat detta täcke. Fantastiskt fint!! Väldigt snygg kantning måste jag säga. Sen den randiga virkningen ser jättefin ut, vilket roligt projekt att göra tillsammans. Mina påbörjade virkningar har åkt fram, vi är på husvagnsemester, helt perfekt pyssel, får se om jag hinner klart med nåt bara. Men oj så kul det är. Nu ser jag fotboll och dricker rosé.
ReplyDeleteKram!
Tack Camilla! Vad härligt med husvagnssemester. Vi har börjat småprata om att campa med husvagn. Vi finns ju mitt i Europa med typ äventyr inom räckhåll i alla riktningar. Kanske nästa år.
DeleteLåter super truper med virkningen som kommit med, fobollen Italien vann eller? Tyckte jag hörde tutor från den italienska familjen nedåt gatan sent igår kväll...)och rosén. Kan det bli bättre.
Piper över till dig nu för att se vad som hänt på sistone.
Kram o ha en bra semester!
