Two years ago now,
I got this fantastic fabric "The Ghastlie's" by Alexander Henry. I thought it was so special, so precious and inspirational.... so I stashed it away in my good fabric pile, never to be touched or used! How crazy is that. Anyway I have been conquering that stashing instinct and thought blow it I will make a quilt and use it all up in one go! Reckless I know.
It's Miss M's birthday and she loves all that goth/scifi/victoriana styling, so a Ghastlie quilt for her it is. See lucky I held on to the fabric for a few years so she could grow into it.

For the B side I thought I'd go a bit more pretty and versatile. Plus I used some gorgeous stashed Liberty floral that wasn't quite enough to make a dress with. I know its not really what some people would call a quilt, its a bit of a cheats quilts, really big pieces sewn together, more of a throw really. I learnt alot from
making Miss S's quilts and got some good tips in a comment from
Debra. Thanks Debra I tried it your technique and it worked really well.

P.S. A few people have told me it was very tricky to leave a comment on my posts. I have had a play with the settings so it should be much easier now. Please feel free to leave a comment, I love comments. |
cool
ReplyDeleteFun quilt! I love that fabric, I've had my eye on it to buy, to make a knitting bag (another). I was thinking of getting the green, but looking at your quilt, I do love the black/white, your dd must love it :-).
ReplyDeleteOoooh I haven't seen the green version. Keep me posted if you make something with it ;)
