I've been trying my hand at a little patchwork. The long term goal is that I would like to create a full size quilt for my daughters bedroom for when she is older. I would like it to be big enough for a single bed and it will incorporate fabrics from some of my favourite items of her baby clothes... so it will be special and therefore I dont want to mess it up.
So... I'm practicing by making a patchwork cushion as a first project with some spare fabrics. It's inspired from my 'Kirstie's Homemade Home' book by Kirstie Allsopp. I'm really pretty pleased with it except for the fact that I would have finished it by now if it wasnt for the fact I got carried away and wasn't concentrating... I sewed the back onto the front with the wrong side up... so I've had to unpick it all... grrrr!!! Well hopefully that is a lesson learnt!
