Patchwork Quilting

I have an old retro style chair that has a dark brown fleece over it.

This is mainly due to the chair being light and the cats being very black.

I decided to liven things up with a festive project of a patchwork quilt.


So I bought some pre cut squares and laid them all out on the bed as I knew it would fit! I did some jiggling about to get the colours just right.


I then numbered the rows and set about sewing and joing it all together.  It took a few days of stopping and starting but it was very theraputic!!


I finished it all off with an edge that I now regret.  I think that it really spoils the look of the quilt, so I am going to undo that edge and just patchwork to the edge.

I wanted to have a quick go as I want to make a huge quilt to go over my dark brown leatehr 2 seater and liven the room up with some bright colours.

I shall start unpicking this on at the weekend and get it how I want it and then start on the beast.
