I'm excited once again to be working on another little project for Fat Quarterly magazine this month - the brief was simple make something with curves.
I have always been worried about curves and have tended to shy away from them so when this opportunity came up I grabbed it. I ordered myself a drunkards path ruler and away I went.
I must say I was really surprised at how easily and quickly these blocks came together and it has inspired me to start my own King bed quilt for my bed at home. I will make sure I blog some progress shots of that too.
I was sent the fabric which had amazing green and blue tones so decided to team it up with some charcoal shot cotton I had in my stash and I was very please with the result.
Some simple but effective straighline quilting 2cm appart and I can wait to show you the completed runner out in Fat Quarterly soon.
Till next time....happy sewing....
xx Jenny

ReplyDeleteIt looks great, and how wonderful to find that they went together better than expected.
ReplyDeleteJenny, thank you for sharing this...curved piecing is brand new to me and I also have selected the drunkards path template to make a "sunrise" quilt for me. I love the straight line quilting too.
