Unfortunately, my grandsons were here for the month and I could not attend. But they did get me the pattern. Right now I do not have the time (Holidays as all) Soooo, I decided to make this small one.
It is called "Fruit Cocktail" (designer, Jennifer Amor)
First was to make 4 units,
Being a Bargello, each strip was different size. They ranged from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch. Making them
identical was more difficult than I thought it was going to be. But, I did it.
Next was to turn the edges down and place on my background.
After they were where I wanted and sewn on, I made all my boarders. I carefully outlined each petal and did a stipple stitch in the black boarder.
Total size is: 28" X 28"
Now, back to Christmas, got lots of things I want to make.
HAPPY QUILTING EVERYONE!
Beautiful wall hanging!! I would never have the patience to hand sew those pieces on, but wow, what a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a scrumptious fruit cocktail. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous and I've never seen a bargello like that before. So unusual - I've only ever seen bargello designs where the pattern goes from one side to the other - with maybe a few curves/waves in it. Well done! Lynne.
