Ek wou oorspronklik dieselfde patroon gebruik as vir Boeta se kwilt, maar het gou besef dat indien ek 4 ekstra blokke byvoeg by die Bloggers BOM projek, dan is die kwilt feitlik groot genoeg vir Sussie. So dis presies wat ek gedoen het.
While tropical storm Calvinia is causing havoc outside, there is no better reason than to stay inside and quilt :) I am still waiting for DS's fabric to arrive, so I started working on DD's quilt.
Originally I wanted to use the same pattern as that of DS's quilt, but I soon realised that if I add 4 more blocks to the Bloggers BOM project, the quilt will be big enough for her. So that is exactly what I did.
Hier is al die blokke uitgelê, voor ek die nuwe blokke bygevoeg het. / Here are all the blocks laid out, before I added the new blocks.
Ek het by die oorspronklike konsep gehou en 2 van elke blok gemaak. Hierdie blokke kom uit die Farmers Wife kwilt, wat ook eendag in die pyplyn sal wees.
I kept to the original concept and made 2 of each block. These blocks come from the Farmers Wife quilt, which will also be in the pipeline one day.
'n Bietjie speel met die uitleg, 'n paar uur agter die masjien en ure se spandeer om te besluit wat om te doen vir 'n buiterand, en dis hoe die kwilt tans lyk.
A bit of layout designing, a few hours behind the machine, lots of hours trying to find a border design, and this is what the quilt looks like at the moment.
Ek is bly ek het besluit om eers 'n klein wit randstrook in te sit, voor ek die gekleurde randstrook en dan 'n derde klein wit randstrook vaswerk. Oorspronklik wou ek goudkleurige materiaal ingewerk het, maar die materiaal wou nie so lekker met die res van die kwilt saamwerk nie. Dis toe dat ek begin rondsoek het na idees vir die randstroke.
I am very happy that I decided to add a narrow white border first, before adding a coloured border and then a narrow white border again. Originally I wanted to add gold coloured fabric, but it didn't work so well with the rest of the quilt. It was then that I started looking around for ideas for the border.
Indien die weer steeds goor is môre, sal ek weer aandag aan die kwilt gee, andersins eers later die week weer.
If the weather is still bad tomorrow, I will continue on this quilt, otherwise it will be later this week.
Great to see you are working on and finishing this BOM. Good idea to make it into two and great choice on the white border. Can't wait to see both finished. Looks like Calvinia is still stationary, expect a quilting day tomorrow too! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your bad weather clears soon and you have no damage - the quilt looks great!
