Flag it up!

 

It's finished!

 

This is a quilt that I've been working on for a while and the scrappy triangle blocks are made using the excellent tutorial by Ashley at FITF.

 

If you haven't found her website already you are in for a treat.

 Quilts, clothes, tutorials, household stuff and a shop,  it's great.  

 

 

She calls her quilt the Nautical quilt but mine reminded me of flags as I tried to get photos and it flapped around in the breeze.

 

 

I backed it with this grey spotted cotton poplin which I really like...

 

and bound it with a red which I can't find the name of, but was from Truro fabrics.

 

 

I think it would make a good cushion too.
 

 

I know the quilting lines aren't even but then nor are the flags.

I haven't done much straight line quilting before but I like the effect.
Washing the quilt when it was finished, really helped to sort of crinkle it up evenly.
 

 

The bright colours were fun to photo on a bright sunny day
with lots of blue sky and fresh green leaves.
 

 

And while I was out catching the late afternoon light,

 I picked up the eggs and some parsley for a quick tea of omelettes,
 

 

 because it was a bit late to start anything more complicated!
