A Little Quilt I Have Been Working On….
Thursday, November 10th, 2011I have spent the last to week madly sewing.
The quilt I have been working on is a Pickle Dish
made mainly out of Joel Dewberry fabrics.
I was asked by Claire Mooney from Quilters Companion
to design a quilt for a special edition of this magazine.
It is going to feature traditional quilts made from modern fabrics.
Release date is June 2012.
I have always wanted to make a pickle dish quilt so this
was the perfect opportunity.

First job was to cut all the triangles
for the pointed arc pieces.
I then foundation pieced these arcs.

Then I had to sew the blocks together.

This is the finished block.
Just had to sew it all together.
and the finished quilt,
Ta Da
any ideas for a name?
