houses quilt top
Originally uploaded by Hells Bells.
I spent a cosy evening in my kitchen studio last night finishing the top of the houses (miniature)quilt. It now has a colourful stripy border which makes it slightly bigger. It’s now about 60cm x 70 cm. I used the paper piecing method that Amy showed on her Quilt Monday this week. This was the first time I had used it and could probably refine the method a bit eg ripping off the backing before sewing the blocks together perhaps. I’m not sure if I will be in a huge hurry to do this style again as its quite fiddly – although I have to admit the results are good and can be used for some interesting patterns.
Now I need to get hold of some batting and choose a backing (am thinking the sky blue fabric) and then do the quilting. If anyone has any suggestions for quilting design please let me know – I’m a total novice in this area.

Hells, this is fantastic, you can add one of these to my order!! Your talents are wasted on office work! you should open a shop called 'bits' or something and sell your little creations like bollywood elephants, quilts, dinosaurs etc. all unique one offs.... You've inspired me to get onto creating something myself!
