Quilt number 3 was all about the blue 🐦

A very varied mix of fabrics from silk to cotton, tight weave to loose weave, and a lot of seersucker to stir the pot. This took a lot of planning on the computer to find out how much fabric I had and what pattern it could then become. I took some inspiration from the flying geese block and the center of this piece featured a large one which was slightly off centered. I wanted side one to feature a structured pattern and then work with what I had left to create a more relaxed back panel.

Matching faux roman blind for a boot room. Maximising the amount of light coming in and softening the feel of a room where the blind was never used 🌞

Throwback to this time last year making a beach themed bench seat for a neighbour ⛱️
It took a few samples to find the right shade and pattern, but this Falmouth stripe from Just Fabrics fit the bill perfectly. Pattern matched at the front to give a more seamless stripe with handmade piping to finish. A faux blind was made in the same material to tie the room together.
