Piecing | Big Chevron Quilt WIP {Quilting}

Wednesday 23 October 2013

If you follow me on Instagram you know I have made some progress with my Big Chevron Quilt - a pattern I am testing for Jess


I have made my 12 stamp collection blocks, and cut them all up so that the chevron pattern shows. I was worried it would be wonky but actually the fact that none of the blocks are not matching really adds interest. 


And the last of the piecing begins, and a quilt top is finally in sight! I cannot wait to get this quilt finished. This is really my favourite quilt yet (and it is not even finished) and will be perfect for my new sewing room. 


Although I went with a vintage theme, the aim was to keep it simple - and in a way further emaphasise the orange and brown chevron zigzag. I used cream low volume fabrics I got in a swap, and white cotton as a last zigzag and background. 



So next basting (my least favourite part) and quilting (my favourite part) and of course binding! I am very excited about this one, it may a finish very soon! 

Linking up to WIP Wednesday today.

  7. The scrappiness of your quilt makes it really fun. I'm not sure basting is anyones favorite part - certainly not mine either. Good luck with the finish, Jess creates amazing things.
