My First Quilt

May I (proudly) present...



Ummmm....fluffy!

  • All material for this quilt / bed cover is from Ines Patchwork, based in Paris (métro St Ambroise).
  • The wadding is a very fluffy one, measuring up to 6cm.
  • Finished product is around 130x130 cm.
I know this is quite a simple project, especially when comparing to some of the top seamstresses out there - check out Summerfete or Henhouse in my links) but I love my little quilt! The fabrics are a little bland maybe, but I just fell in love with them. My next one will no doubt be a more colourful affair, and I plan to make full use of my Material Obsession book. I like the pattern for "Candyshop", but would like to make something bigger, and properly quilted of course!
 In the meatime, due to lack of summer sun, I can thoroughly enjoy my lovely fluffy little quilt.

  1. That's gorgeous! I adore how squashy it looks...almost like an eiderdown. Which wadding did you use?

  5. Thanks for your comments! It's nice to hear and warms the heart!
    Florence - the wadding is a polyester "edredon" special from the patchwork shop I mentionned. they have a lots of pics on their website, it should be easy to find!
