Aja's Quilt

 I have quite a few bits and bobs of photos backed up and will pick and choose what to post at this late stage. New year's resolution to keep up with blogging as I like to read it and refer back.

A major preoccupation at the end of 2024 was a "commission" from my daughter in law. It was a 60x70" piece and as close as we could make it copy of one she had seen on the net, largish angled pieces and insertions and improvisational in appearance. She selected solid colours from a fabric colour chart.

I wanted to contact the original maker but it turned to be a commercial design to be reproduced to order so I can't show it here.

I will content myself with a picture of the two colour binding, blue on the front and aqua on the back and the back was a lage scale vibrant print I've had for some time.

I had to sew 1.5 inch strips together
and the join them lengthwise

Sewn and pressed

The back

This was such a challenge but the outcome was very exact - I drafted a full scale pattern laid out on the living room floor - and I'm so pleased I rose to it. I usually go for the easiest option.
