Still using the fat quarter bundle of African animal/primary colour prints I decided that simple sashed blocks were the go, using up the 1.5" strips I had cut from the first cot quilt.
I really liked the white/red polka dot fabric I found in my stash, so sashed all the blocks using this to make the quilt a bit bigger.
These are all elephant prints, super cute!
I was one block short, so fussy cut from one of the other prints.
This quilt needed a border in my option and I when I was on a day trip to Warrnambool with my mother (to visit their quilt show), I found this amazing lime chevron print....it was on sale, so I brought the rest of the bolt!
Happy quilting Sue.
Great little tips and tricks for making a quilt bigger.
ReplyDeleteThat chevron print frames it beautifully.
You've been so creative how you've used those fabrics. Each quilt bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun, with all the elephants on parade in bright, happy colors!That border fabric worked out perfectly, tying into your sashing color. This will certainly create smiles for some lucky recipient!
