Your quilt is unique, there is no other quilt exactly like it.
Your quilt has been made in a pet free, non smoking environment.
All fabrics and materials are new and of the best quality. Pure cotton has been used for the front and back. All fabrics have been washed and air dried prior to being used in your quilt. This process tests for shrinkage and colour fastness.
Cotton blend threads have been used in the construction of your quilt, as they are strong, colourfast and durable. The binding around the edge is double thickness pure cotton fabric. A smooth firm binding gives more durability and a longer life to your quilt without unnecessary bulk. The threads used to give decoration to the top of your quilt are a synthetic blend. They are glossy and smooth with wonderful variegated colour.

This quilt is from the beautiful Andover fabric range, Harvest Spice. It has been featured as Block Of the Month by several quilt shops.
I fell in love with the colours and had some scraps leftover, which I made into a lap quilt, shown nested in the centre.

This large lap quilt was the result of some leftover stars from the quilt 'Asylum'.
After making the centres of the star blocks with 1 inch finished squares, I simply had to say "no more 1" squares". A friend is now the owner of a shoebox full of squares, and I no longer feel guilty about not using them up in something.

A few years back I travelled to Hawaii with my partner Bill on a wonderful well earned holiday. I found a stack of beautifully colourful fabrics at the market, and simply had to take them home with me.
I wanted to capture the vibrant and tropical colours of Hawaii in a lasting memento of the trip. I was happily cutting and piecing my beautiful fabrics and realised that I had no complimentary fabrics to go with the brights.
Bill was going into town, and would stop in at the quilt shop for me, all I said was that I wanted the fabric to be the colour of Hawaii, the sky, the water, whatever he wanted to choose would be fine. He came home with the beautiful vibrant blues that you see in the borders, and they were absolutely perfect. |
'Tumbling Scraps' is another quilt in the series of scrap busters. The inspiration was a pile of 2½” strips and a look at the site, www.quiltville.com
I am determined to get to the bottom of the scrap stash, but it just seems to keep on growing …. |
