Hi, my name is Ali and I am addicted to Fabric. Gosh, that feels better. I thought I would start this blog to help record my makes and hopefully link up with some of the people whose work I admire so much. So, having started with a confession, here is my first quilt. Lots of confessions needed here.
It isn't modern
It isn't all cotton
The quilting is rubbish
I love it!
This quilt was made from my Husband's old shirts (plus one cream maternity shirt which I made when I was pregnant). It therefore has a lot of my husband and a little bit of me and my 2 boys in it. It has been on our bed for just over a year now and has kept us snuggly warm. I am itching now to make a new modern quilt to alternate this one with, but the memory of quilting this on my old machine puts me off attempting something quite this big again.
I love this quilt. I would never had guessed that it is your first quilt, or that it was even a memory quilt. The colours suit each other so well that I would have thought you went out and picked these particular fabrics with this very project in mind. Very impressive.
I love it! my first few quilts have plenty of polycotton binding etc but it is all part of the learning x
