Yay I have another finish!!!
My version of the Value Proposition Quilt.
This quilt was designed by Karen and she held a quilt along on her Faeries and Fibres blog. I wanted to make this quilt for the gorgeous border fabric and to learn more about using light, medium and dark values. Every fortnight Karen would post a map and a recipe, her black and white photos were a great help too.
The quilt has 18 rosettes and 4 half rosettes (or blocks).
I didn't have enough of the gorgeous Winterthur border fabric so I designed my own cornerstone blocks using colours from the border.
I used a Jo Morton stripe that seems to match perfectly.
I'm glad I used my sister's suggestion of using the fabric from old doona cover that mum had. You can see the beautiful quilting by Katrina inspired by Kyle's version of Di Ford's Route 66.
A post wouldn't be complete without Maggie in it.
I'm linking up with Meredithe's linky party for October.
'Til next time
