A quick quilt to use up some of my stash before Fabric a brac at the weekend. I've had this on my to make list for ages.
I cut the bird and dot squares possibly two years ago and the backing fleece was fabric I bought for our wedding about 6 years ago with the plan of reusing it when we were finished. I think this is the last fleece I have left (but I'm not too keen to go stash searching just in case!).
There's plenty of birds left but dots have been used up.
I added in an extra fabric as the two contrasting birds/dots didn't do enough for me when I alternated them. This extra fabric was from StitchBird in Kilbirnie Wellington.
I used quilting safety pins to keep the layers together and then quilted every second square. I'm relatively pleased with the quilting on top but the bottom is a little twisted.
Its a little hard to get the full quilt manipulated on my faithful Toyota machine.
Need to figure out what I've done and how I can fix that the next time. But I'm actually quite happy with the look of it!
