Alphabet Quilt

I’ve started a new project – an alphabet sampler quilt. The alphabet sunbonnet designs are from here. The fabric for the applique is from here.

Each of the alphabet blocks will be 15cm by 15cm – once they’re all made I’ll think about borders etc.

In case you’re interested, I used Robinson Anton Rayon embroidery thread, the base fabric is white homespun and I’ve stabilised with calico (I bought a roll from Spotlight)

I will finish the mod 9 quilt I just need a bit of time when Misses A and P aren’t around, so I can lay it out and pin it.

Mod 9 Backing

I’ve sewn the backing together for this quilt.

There was quite a bit of cutting involved. Each of the large purple stripes consists of two parts and the thinner spotty stripes weren’t quite wide enough, so I needed to added extra purple bits on the end.

All the fabric came from my stash!

I then went to this shop and bought 100% cotton batting.

Now for the quilting …
