I got this pattern from Etsy ages ago. I think it might have been called Flowers in the Sunshine? I started sewing it up just before we moved house with the intention of having it in my bedroom, which I was going to paint grey. I did paint my bedroom grey, but I never finished the quilt. One of the seams ended up not matching very well and unpicking the whole row was a bit of a thought, so I'd abandoned it. I pulled it out recently and I think it looks really nice!
The fabrics are from Moda's Feed Company range, which they probably don't make any more since I started this over two years ago. None of the fabrics are very grey, but they do look really good in my grey bedroom.
I think the white sashing really helps to brighten up the room. Only the bottom few rows are sewn together here, I've just placed the upper rows down where they'll go. I really should get this quilt top finished. I need to cut more of the white sashing. I do have quite a bit of the fabric left over, so I could make some matching cushions for the chair in my room maybe? The thought of quilting all of this together scares me a bit! I've only quilted small baby and toddler quilts before, and I found it quite challenging to fit them through my machine. I can't imagine how difficult it'll be to quilt this but it seems like a worthwhile project.
Not at all related, I finally got some Zorb! It should arrive tomorrow and I'll be able to sew the rest of the cloth pads I started making.
This is where it all went wrong! Those seams in the centre are supposed to meet up, making a perfect cross, or a roughly matched one at least. I don't know how it got so off. I suppose trimming all the blocks when they were done might have prevented it. I'm not sure how much you'd notice it though. Obviously I'd know it was there, but I doubt it's the first thing anyone else would see.
