该被子的拼布上衣已完成 早在六月,但由于它相当可观(224平方),我花了很长时间才能激发出the缝的能量。大部分正方形是先前制作遗留下来的Liberty残余物,再加上从 缝纫箱。浅色的“中性”方块是从另一幅Liberty印花(Cathy)上切下来的,该印花也用作底布。
It's very busy 和 flowery but that's exactly what I love about Liberty prints. Plus the busyness of the fabric hides a multitude of 缝 sins...
Because it's made almost entirely from 自由草坪 (I think there's one non-Liberty imposter in there) the feel of this quilt is different to others I've made. 自由草坪 has a slight sheen 和 silkiness that you don't get with regular 缝 cotton, giving it a really luxurious feel.
The intended home 对于this quilt is on the guest bed in the loft. Everything is very plain 和 neutral up there 和 it adds a nice pop of colour.
However... I was testing it out on the sofa last night 和 it actually looks great in the front room, so 我是 a bit torn. 它也具有神奇的特性,将它包裹在我周围大约十分钟之内就睡着了……也许我会在两者之间交替?
至于名字,我称它为我的 冬青霍比 被子让我想起了我七十年代的一个洋娃娃。
大概是同一时间 草原上的小房子 was on TV, when spriggy florals 和 patchwork dresses were flavour of the month 对于little girls! Anybody else remember 冬青霍比?星期二过得愉快。 X
