Patchwork-Along ~ Sophie

Seeing Cheryl's beautiful patchwork quilt at Time to Craft has tempted me into finishing a very old piece of patchwork which has been at the bottom of my sewing box for about 16 years.  Several of us admitted to having unfinished patchwork lurking about so Cheryl had an idea for a 'Patchwork-Along'.  

Here is the 'sewing box of doom'....


.....and here is my unfinished piece.


It was going to be a cot quilt for a friend's baby but they are bit old for that now so I'm going to turn it into something else.  After considering some options, I think I may have talked myself into it being a quilt for Gaby's bedroom with some different fabrics added.  My mum is the quilter/embroiderer of the family and she thinks she has some of the starry fabric so I need to go and raid her cupboards.  I loved this fabric, it's Laura Ashley and I also had it as wallpaper in my first house.....always loving the stars :)

  1. It looks amazing!! I can't wait to see it with the starry fabric. It needs to be finished. I think Gaby is going to be one lucky girl.

  2. How clever! I keep meaning to return to my patchwork but it's just not as appealing as knitting at the moment.
