A quilt in half a day!

I don't think I have ever produced a small quilt top in such a short time. It took an hour to cut the strips and squares and two hours to stitch it together.
It is based on an idea described by Kay Koeper Sorensen on her blog Quilts + Color I decided to use some of my large collection of indigo dyed fabrics plus a fabric I printed last year when I was teaching at The Studio in Loch Lomond.
I thought this multi coloured fabric, printed with a masked out silk screen, would provide an interesting contrast to the indigo fabrics. I like the sparkle that the complementary colour provides here.
All that is needed now is another length of dyed cloth for the backing and then I can quilt it.
At least with this rather damp summer weather there is more time for stitching!
Speak to you soon
