I am a big fan Marie's quilts who blogs at the Quilting Edge. She has a unique way with fabric and loves to use stripes. This quilt here is my favourite of hers. She also has a fantastic quilt-as-you-go technique that I am keen to try out. You can find a tutorial on her blog. Her quilts have inspired me to stock up on more stripy fabric and I bought a somewhat indulgent stash of Kaffe Fassett stripes from Glorious Colours. God, this stuff is marvellous and feels so so soft. I want to combine this with my already existing stripe stash from my Oakshotts into a quilt inspired by Marie's work.
Goodness - I suppose the stripes make it look way more complicated than it really is - can't wait to see if you do it x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to Marie`s blog - what amazing quilts, and that one in particular is amazing. Lovely fabrics - got to love the Fasset!
ReplyDeleteI too am totally in love with that quilt! She has a great eye for colour and I also have a love of stripes but cannot compete with your stash!
