Tap, Tap is this thing on....... I haven't visited here for quite a few weeks (oops)
Hi Everyone,
today is my day to share my Sea Breeze Mini Quilt with you all. When gnomeangel
put the call out for peeps to take part in the quilt-a-long I couldn't resist in putting my hand up calling 'pick me, pick me' hence you are here now.
So without further ado here is my Sea Breeze Mini journey
As soon as I had the pattern I started to consider fabrics, but, like the pattern I was drawn to the solids for this mini, and this is the first quilt of any size I have made just in solids.
I chose Michael Miller Cotton Couture which I bought from the gorgeous girls at polka dot tea Danielle and Jeanette are amazing and will happily put together a bundle of whatever you are needing, I especially love the MM Cotton Couture, its so soft and so nice to work with.
at the end of day 1 I had all the blocks cut and the first 4 blocks sewn together
Day 2 I shared a sneak peek on instagram, day 3 and 4 I just admired
it from afar
Luckily I was sent a reminder that today was my day to share, I came home from
assembly for the big girls and got stuck into quilting my mini. I choose to stitch
1/4" each side of the seams, then I accentuated the triangles by stitching 1/4' on the white
this photo shows the quilting a bit better
we have a happy little visitor staying with us at the moment, sadly
Henry isn't as keen as we are on Annie Dog, today he choose to
'help' when I stitched the binding on
TA DA my finished Sea Breeze Mini Quilt
(it is actually straight IRL) I LOVE this mini and cannot wait to hang it up
in a permanent spot
I am now planning on doing a bit of size experimenting because I think this would make an
AMAZING QUEENSIZE QUILT
in the same fabric I used for my mini.....
Thanks for visiting xx
