Photo: another genuine patchwork quilt - like it's mate below - it was made while we were overseas - and as mentioned below, cotton was hard to come by - and so, this was made out of soft furnishing fabrics - some were 80/20, some 20/80, some 60/40, while others were 50/50 - it was a challenge to find as many compatible fabrics as I could, from the stock I was given by my friend. The recipient of this quilt, who was also the provider of the fabric, was over the moon with the result of it. At the foot of the quilt are several cats - with a ball they are playing with - this was the only request my friend made - she wanted cats on the quilt - and so cats, she got!!!
Photo: now this is a patchwork quilt - well, the basics of one, at least! I didn't use a pattern - it was purely utilising whatever fabrics I could lay my hands on - we were living offshore at the time and cotton fabrics were nearly as scarce as hen's teeth. At the time of the photo, the top was all but finished - sadly though, I didn't take any other photos of it, before giving the completed quilt to a special friend. And that was pretty well the start of making a series of quilts - for myself, for my beloved and for other special friends in my life. Note: for other quilts - see under "Quilts"
