It went from this:
to this:
Small confession - i didn't do the actual quilting myself as i couldn't justify a quilting foot for my machine when i hope to get a new machine mid year - so a quick google search led me to Kim's Quilt's who can quilt your quilts for you - and better yet - she is only 30 mins down the road from me!
I used a few excellent tutorials along the way including Diary of a Quilter and Retro Mummy (who I also bought the charm packs from at a market in sydney). If you ever wanted to make a quilt - charm square quilts are the easiest ever - just start and you will be done in no time.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, this is lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow, you must be so proud of your creation!! You've done an amazing job - very neat stitching. Is it going in your little girl's room or is it for a gift? I love the fabrics you've used.
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome first quilt girl!!! I haven't tackled a quilt yet as I am busy crocheting but I could totally cut squares and see hey!?! But can I just hand sew the 'quilting part' ... I need to research more... Off to follow your links.
