Scrappy quilt by Katell

Note: I am posting this on behalf of Katell.

I am about to quilt a big quilt, well not really a string quilt since all pieces are cut 2 1/2 x 4 1/2. Yet it is a genuine scrappy top with many Japanese fabrics. I found my inspiration in this book :

I began to cut and piece :

​Well, d'accord, let's go on !

​

​I showed the top to my Bee Amies last Friday. It will be a bedspread (200 x 240 cm)

I have to quilt it now : I will offer it to my sister​ by the end of the month for her 40th birthday.

So it will not be on my blog before because I want her to be surprised!

My Green Tree of Life

Hello, I am Katell, living near Toulouse in France.
I have always loved scrappy quilts and my new pleasure is to use selvedges. Of course I was totally influenced by Karen Griska and her book Quilts from the Selvage Edge.
In Winter I made a small star with an ice-blue sky :

Last week I celebrated Spring with My Green Tree of Life. It is an oversized classical bloc with the same easy half squares sewn with selvages. I call it green because of its main color, but also because all fabrics are reclycled !

Have a nice Spring time!
