I know it has been a long time since my last post (a family member has been gravely ill and in hospital since early April) but now that there is some light at the end of the tunnel, I have started to work on my Kaffee Fassett quilt again.
I spent some time yesterday adding more charm squares around the perimeter and also buying some more fabric for the last outer border. This will be a lap-size quilt, so it won't be too big. Below are some photos of my progress and of the new fabric I bought.
This quilt still reminds me of a colourful coral reef, with shafts of light beaming down through the water. For the final outer border, I looked for fabric that looked like water; like you are about to wade into an undersea grotto, and I found the perfect fabric to match that description. It is "Urban Creep" by Jane Paine Dawes for SAQA for Andover Fabrics (in blue). Here is the fabric; the colours match Kaffee Fassett's fabrics perfectly!
Below is my quilt so far, hanging on the clothesline above my vegetable garden. I can hardly wait for the carrots, beans, peas, zucchini, cucumbers and tomatoes!
I think I will call this quilt "Coral Reef". I will post more pictures once I finish the final border.
Happy sewing,
Rosie
