Today a few pictures of the first patchworkquilt I'm working on. I started after visiting a quilt exhibition two years ago. I was impressed by the works I saw and bought a book, Quiltpatronen (quiltpatterns) by Davina Thomas, and a few pieces of fabric. On our trip in may that year to Denmark I started, by hand, making different blocks.


Together with my little girl, concentrated on our work.
At the end of our trip I finished a few blocks, but had no idea how to combine them in one quilt.

Trying which combination will work

Now, one and  a half year later, I'm quilting the sandwich, still by hand. It takes a lot of time but I like the result.
and it needs a bit of ironing

There are about 8 big blocks to quilt... to be continued!

  1. Gaaf zeg, lijkt me mooi als beddensprei. Hoewel, dan ziet haast niemand het, dat is ook zonde. Leuke foto, lekker ruim huis zeg! (of moet het commentaar ook in English? ;)) X
