Do you remember when........DS3 asked me if I would make him a quilt for his bed - naturally I said yes, what would you like. He replied just blue and white squares, thanks mum and none of that fancy stuff on the top?
Well that quilt which you can read about here has been used and used and is now relegated to the spare room.
So....he has asked me if I would make him another. Yes, I said. When I asked what he would like this time the reply was 'just plain grey' thanks mum. I suggested he buy two plain grey flat sheets and I would join them and he could put his doona in it!!! "Oh, I really would love a quilt if that's OK." Plain grey??? I then asked him to send me some photos or clippings from mags showing what he liked and I would work from that. (ps he loves Ikea...)
Among some of the stuff he sent me he said he liked the one with a couple of 'arrows' on it. OK, says me - I will have a look and found the one with the 'arrows' - plain pale grey doona cover with - yes - 'flying geese' at the bottom!!!
Decision made - material brought and here is a little snippet -
Just to make this a little bit more interesting with a much nicer photo I have been busy sewing more hexagons into my 'hexagon star' quilt. I love the way this is looking, still not sure how big I will go - probably not much more than this. With the extra bits that need to make it square I think will be enough. It will finish at around 5' square. I am itching to start a '60 deg' diamond next - The seven sisters' pattern.
