My first patchwork quilts!

Well, I've just been commissioned to make personalised handmade patchwork quilts for a friend of a friends twin girls!  I've not attempted one yet, but have been saving up lots of fabrics to do one for myself for a while now! 


Being asked to do these for the twins has made me very excited, and pushed me to get on and do it!! :) 

I've spent the last few days discussing and looking at fabrics that would suit, and we've found some lovely pinky ones (dots, some cute deer, ballerinas and lovely retro flowers pattern)! I've just ordered them, and got some lovely fleecy material for the backing, so now just have to wait for it all to arrive and get sewing! :) 

I'll keep you posted with my progress, I'm sure it will all go well - she doesn't want complicated ones, nothing too fussy, so we're going with simple squares, which is perfect for my first patchwork project! 

I've always loved patchwork quilts, and as a child I never had one (and always longed for one!), so this just a dream come true to think that I can make my very own, exactly how I want, with my chosen patterns etc! 

I'll put pictures up once it's done, and may add it to my website for future commissions!
