When Patchwork goes wrong!
To check the colours I arranged them and took black and white photographs, wow they were stunning!
Planning was next underway and I had designed the mini quilt.
The first couple of blocks looked great, but I soon got to realize that something was wrong.
The block patterns were disappearing in the beautiful patterns of the collection. My fault. I should have bought some solids to mix it up.
Lesson learnt and I pulled out another fat quarter bundle from my stash. Funny how that happens – that we sewers just seem to happen to have some “spare” fabric. But with this I added some solids and the results were so much better.
As for the Dashwood Bloom, I’ll put it in the UFO box and finish it when I fancy. Or is that just Claire speak for never, or frogged?
Coat for Tony
It is fully waterproof as all the seams have been taped. The front has two pockets, it has pit zips and also a hood. The pattern is the Green Pepper Fairbanks Pullover, and the pattern is s dream to use.
The pattern doesn't have a pocket on the left hand sleeve, but hubby wanted one for his ski pass. So he got one. IF I was to make this pattern again, I would make the longer one as I think this one is too short, but hubby loves it.
