After 2 mis-starts ( I will share later), I finally settled on some 3" jelly rolls from a Moda scrap bag. Four were burgundy and four were gold.
Then I raided my stash for some tone on tone or solids in yellows, pinks and burgundys.
The solid white added a freshness to break up the colours.
Staggering the strips was a bit trickier and they did not always match up, but it didn't really matter.
The main challenge was to arrange the fabric strips to achieve a mix and a pleasing aesthetic.
It was small enough to quilt myself but I stayed simple and did some straight stitching on the verticals where I shadowed the ditch on the front. This made for a nice pattern on the back as well.
The binding didn't take as long to make this time and I managed to machine bind it all on within two and half hours. I only missed one corner this time!
So this is the front completed...
and this is the back.
I have to make a lovely label from some scraps and dedicate it to Rosemary...in time for her farewell picnic on the 4th December. Now to bind another project!
