A couple of years ago I did a beginners course in quilting...I could not make the quilt that the teacher had made,
I simply could not like it.
I learned all the methods of piecing which was fun.
I still have not put the edge on the quilt because there is a special method of doing it, Ricky Tims was the guy that uses that method.
One uses a sewing machine that involves piping, I think it is much neater than doing it by hand. I know it is not the traditional method, but it is now 2011
So I would like to use this new method.

Rein was so sick at the time that I was easily distracted.
So this is one UFO that needs to be completed soon.
ABOUT TIME !!!
I just thought about it today I can print this quilt onto a very fine Batiste then hand quilt the design onto the a piece of flannel. As you can see that in real life I love the Autumn shades of the world.
I took the pictures of the houses from some
"Tourist Tiles" I had in my kitchen.
I then photocopied them and then played for a week.
I stood on the ladder today to take the photograph, as it is far to windy today to take it outside.
You can see the photograph is a little squiffy.
I THINK IT WILL LOOK GREAT AS A MINI !!!!
My teacher thought I had done quilting before, and others asked if I bought a kit.
Maybe I should sell a kit for this quilt...
Any takers for a beginners quilt.
I love it, it is beautiful as a mini but also as reallife scale, I love the center where you can see the dutch influence lol. The colours are super
