Max's Robot Quilt
A fun, bright boys quilt for a friends baby. A fab kokka print of little robots. I'm getting braver at playing with colour.
Raspberry and Lime Wheels Quilt
I can't find another picture of this quilt finished, but I know I have one somewhere so this will have to do for now until it turns up. It was made using Amy Butler and Kaffe Fassett dots in this gorgeous raspberry, paired with an oakshot solid colour, which has a kind of shimmer to it as it's a shot cotton. I made this using a rotary cutting template for the circles, but even so they were sooo fiddly to piece on the sewing machine. I threw in a few lime wedges just to add a kick. It ended up rather smaller than I had planned as fabric and patience ran out and I don't think i revisit pieced curves for a year or two!

Heather Ross Baby Big Bed Quilt
This remains one of my all time favourite quilts. Scrappy rectangles with fussy cut panels of precious Heather Ross Munki Munki fabric sourced all over ebay and etsy online. Matched with fabrics from my stash. I adore it. My little girl loved ( and continues to love) it. Its been washed a million times and still looks so vibrant. Pillow to match, appliqued circles stuffed from behind to give a 3D look.
Ducks In a Row Quilt
More baby quilts. At this stage I'm obsessed with the circular hand quilting motif. Usuing graphic linear piecing but then softening it all down using the circular hand quilting.
Lime ChurnDash Quilt
Loving the idea of taking classic quilt blocks, using modern fabric and playing with scale. This quilt was a lot of fun to make and a shot of colour in the dead of winter.
