A Hotchpotch Gingham Quilt

I've been using up all my odds and ends scraps before Christmas starts, mainly because my mum is stealing back my sewing room to make way for a turkey. So I decided to make a quilt full of random colours, prints and styles to use all these scraps up.

I used some red gingham fabric for the underside and in my usual style I made two matching cushions. I decided to use each fabric a couple of times throughout the quilt so it didn't look too random.

I had so many scraps that I was able to make a double sized quilt which looks great across the sofa...

or on a double bed.

Now it's all wrapped up and ready to go and get snuggled with a Christmassy couple!

Double the Flowers

Hello again! I bring to your eyes yet another recent quilt creation. This time it's a double quilt to chuck on your bed and get snuggly with!

As you can see, the quilt is reversible and the underneath is made up of dark vintage florals on an off white background. For the squares on the front, I picked various colours from the floral fabric including pale blue yellow peach and green and then a splash of burgundy too. I like the mixture of light and dark fabrics together.

I also created two matching patchwork cushions with the backing fabric on the underside so they can be reversed depending on how you're feeling. 'Cause every girl likes to change her mind!
