Last year I jumped on the #berninazenchicqal to make a cover for DH's new-to-him armchair - I openly call it the ugly chair as I neither like style nor material nor colour. the quilt had been pieced, sandwiched and quilted for the last 6 months, waiting patiently (what else can a quilt do really?) on the 'to be finished' pile next to the sofa - which is by the way also a great cat bed as well as a fabulous attractor of dust bunnies and various other dirt that accumulates in the lounge. This morning I finally managed to get it DONE!
 |
| An older accumulation of various black, white, red and greys; the kitty fabric ended up becoming my feature fabric |
 |
| Some new additions to above |
 |
| Various blocks... |
 |
| ... some more... |
 |
| ... and more... |
 |
| ... a combination of blocks to date... |
 |
| ... another week done... |
 |
| ... blanket stitched appliqué blocks - not my favourite... |
 |
| ... more pieced blocks - phew! |
 |
| ... another combination |
 |
| I wanted to achieve a similar effect to 'Throwing' |
 |
| All rows pieced together |
 |
| Completed flimsy |
 |
| This is 'the chair' so I chose polar fleece instead of batting + backing for my quilt |
 |
| Quilted with (more or less) parallel lines around the triangle blocks (using quilting ruler) and wiggly lines in the side borders |
 |
| Lots of threads to bury as usual! |
 |
| And here is the back |
 |
| Finally finished - |
 |
| - and 'in situ'! |
Happy Sewing!
