• plans for my first quilt

  Date: 2008.06.20 | Category: fabric | Response: 0

  
  So, yes, I’ve kinda got really interested in the idea of a hand sewn quilt, made with fabrics from Okadaya. I thought I’d make it for my youngest, M, because she rarely gets new stuff, or stuff “first”. Also, it could legitimately be smallish … which would test out whether I have the stamina for hand piecing a big one

  Little M loves fish at the moment, so it will be a fairly simple fishy quilt, with lots of different fabrics to create water movement. I’m trying to plan the shapes out, above. I bought the Clover metal templates from Okadaya … I think they don’t quite fit what I want to do (I need an isosceles triangle as well as equilateral ones, maybe a parallelogram?) but I’m glad I’ve got them anyway, I’m sure to use them later.

  Sorry ’bout the grey day photography … you can make the photo a bit bigger by clicking on it, if that helps;)
