My
Liberty Bloomsbury quilt has been pulled out of the WIP pile this weekend, and well and truly worked on. Over the last few evenings I have been hand appliqueing the Dresden circles and their centres on to the solid backgrounds. I decided to go with the grape solid rather than a contrasting colour, but then while rummaging though my stash, I found this floral fabric (I think it is a Kaffe Fassett print) which picked up all the colours perfectly. It looked too busy as the actual centre circle, however by making smaller circles I was able to use it as a feature, and I think this has also toned down the grape. Piecing the blocks together certainly didn't take long, but pressing those seams has been hot work today.
I love how it looks so far, however I have plans to make it bigger than it's current dimensions of 60" square and have some more beautiful liberty strips that I purchased from Polka Dot Tea Fabrics to use.
