This is my first attempt at some patchwork quilting. I have been reasonably interested in patchwork for a while, and decided a Cushion Cover would be easy to start with.
I found some co-ordinating fabrics deciding red should be the theme throughout, and checked some blogs for inspiration. This one told me what I wanted to know! The striping method appealed to me. An another blog I read told me about sewing them all together in to a tube, cutting across the seams and then unpicking the seams to make the squares come out in a different order, but I can't find the blog I'm referring to! I'm sure the patchworkers/quilters amongst you will know what I mean!
I'm quite pleased with the outcome, it was a pleasant Sunday afternoon spent cutting and sewing. I will be finishing this project soon! Watch this space!

ah, that's the technique everyone's been using to make Scrappy Trip Around the Worlds. You know, I never understood written explanations of that technique until I just read yours!
ReplyDeleteThe patchwork is looking lovely, well done on challenging yourself.
Great choice of materials. It will look great once finished and I am looking forward to seeing it :)

ReplyDeleteLike the combination of fabrics you have chosen. Looks like you have made a great start, can't wait to see the finished article :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of the fabric. You've done a great job so far with the patchworking. Can't wait to see what it's like when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteLovely colours and I really like the stripes as something a bit different. Not sure I have the patience for patchwork so really admire those that do. x
