My Patchwork Quilt


So this is my second project and something I have wanted to make for a long time! I have to say this was harder than I was expecting, but just like everything that's homemade, it was worth it! I bought these selctions of fabrics from Alders in Croydon and the rose binding is from Fabric Land in Kingston. I have never been a fan of pins in the past for obvious reasons but on this project I learned just how important they are. Using a sewing machine practically for the first time I realised that pins are vital to keep the layers of fabrics all lined up, or you can seriously fudge up and be quite disapointed with the result to say the least. But I am happy with my quilt all 108 squares of it!!
