A Mini AMH feather quilt

Hi all,

The Bloggers Quilt Festival is on over at Amy's Creative Side again. So I entering my Mini AMH feathers quilt into the Mini a Quilt category.

I made this quilt for a Cotton and Steel themed mini quilt swap that happened on Instagram.

I used a solid white for the back ground and a shot cotton grey for the feather spines.

I love how quilting completely changes the look of a quilt! It also stresses me out a little as I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing and I might not like the end result...but it usually works out ok.

Bye for now, Jess

Why so long? And Millefiore fun.

I was looking at my blog, this blog, a few days ago in search of a quilt to see when I had started it and I realised that I might come to regret not blogging for so long. So, it is time to start again.

So much has happened in the however long it has been since I last blogged seriously. I think I will just fill in the blanks as I go rather than try and cover it all in one huge post.

One of the biggest projects I have started in the last year is the La Passacaglia quilt from the Millefiore book.

I ordered the book from Quiltmania when they had a 60% off sale, bargain! And got my paper pieces from Paper Pieces in the US.

I started making the quilt on our big trip to Melbourne in October 2014.

I have made the first rosette, which is the only completed round cog.

The first big rosette took me 3 months to complete.

And I am half way through my second big rosette. There are three of these.

I decided to mainly use Tula Pink and Cotton & Steel fabric with a few solids and other fav prints thrown in.

I have to admit and am really dawn to complicated patterns!

Bye for now,
