Makeshift Garden

I still have quite a bit of Anni Downs' Love to Garden fabric left after making my Flyaway project and I wasn't sure what to do with it.  I had originally thought that I would make a new design with it but my mind was blank so I then thought a quilt would be nice.

Over the weekend I took it all out of its hiding place to see exactly how much is left. Among the pieces is a fat quarter of a panel that has a variety of garden images on it. The images are in 3 different sizes and not wanting to waste them I decided to cut around each one and fuse it to a background square.  I will then blanket stitch applique around each shape.

After that I'm not sure what I will do with them - but it's a good starting point.

Because it's a garden theme and I'm making it up as I go along; I'm going to call it 'My Makeshift Garden'.

Ready to applique...

The weekend was spent busily cutting out and fusing the shapes and now they are ready to blanket stitch applique (by hand). 

I'm planning to use Perle 8 thread in blue, green and purple.

Fingers crossed it will turn out a winner.

Until next time

Lyn

What a great idea to applique the motifs. Should make for a lovely quilt
