 The Anchors Aweigh quilt is finished and labelled too and after completing Sunny and using my transatlantic swap blocks from long ago I set about a quick new project.

37" Square

Fabric detail

Backing same as binding









I watch Jordan Fabrics YouTube videos most weekday mornings while I have my breakfast and have purchased  or downloaded a few patterns from them including this one, "Big & Bold" by Daniela Stout for Cozy Quilt Designs. 



I used a group of very ugly fabrics with a 40s kitchen feel to them or reminding me of French plastic tablecloths, hence the name for this "Tablecloth Quilt"..



The blocks are big finishing at 17" square and I made twelve in double quick time, 3 by 4 to finish 51" by 68", 57" by 74" with borders. Despite unpromising beginnings of an ultra simple pattern and fabrics most would hate I like the finished result except for the same fabric kitty corner, an unpicking and resewing job at the Oast UFO day on Saturday.

Ahoy there!

 

As a respite from more complex projects I've quilted and attached (but not sewn down) the binding of this Linus top made at our recent Belsey retreat. The check is printed on the cross so I could cut it on the straight.

I've got three quilts in various stages of sewing down the binding.
